Zim... no it is not obvious esp to new hunters. maybe you have not noticed how many people do not pattern their gun. or know anything about patterning their gun. they buy a "turkey shell" and go out and think they have a turkey gun. some will kill a turkey.

there are alot of die hard gun gurus that will stop at nothing, that can not get a killing pattern at 60 yds with the shells mentioned. that is putting 80 pellets ( preferably 100) in a 10 inch circle at 60 yds. 80 virtually guarentees a kill. it is the standard that every turkey hunter should strive for.
