Bless you my son. You must be young ?!?!

A 10 ga. is a shoulder pounder for sure. I tried one many, many years back. A pump action, hunting ducks and geese in the La. march. I was about 30 years old, and had 220# of "much man" on my 6'1" frame at the time. I kid you not, that evening, long after dinner was done ... I still hurt. Go ahead .... but for me a 3", high powered 12 ga. is plenty gun enough for turkeys in my book.
