Do you use any type of sights you can adjust for windage and elevation?
I highly suggest that as guessing only leads to heartache.....been there myself far too many times. Then I looked as why and changed. First to a set of open clamp on Tru-Glo sights which I could adjust for windage and elevation and when my old eyes could no longer focus on the front bead to the back ramp and beyond - (was a result of a miss0 I went to a scope.
I treat my Turkey shotgun as if it is a rifle - only way to go as you are no longer pointing but aiming. And it is far to easy with just a bead or double bead, to lift your head ever so slightly, in the heat of the battle you don't even know you did it and......it's a miss or worse yet wounding.
Now my aim point is always at the waddles as that is the bottom center of my circular pattern.
Aim point is where the feathers stop and the skin starts.
It is a consistent aim point as all legal birds will have that. No guess there.
Just a thought.
Don't take offense - just an idea. But hey it's the Hunter Education Instructor that is popping out here....
