Phil, I hunt with a goose gun as well. My grandpa's Marlin Model 55 Goosegun with a 36 inch barrel. He killed many turkeys with it and I have killed many with it in the few years I have had it. To aid in aiming it, I found an original peep sight that fits it. That extra long barrel really helps when you really need it, but it will seek out every tree to smack against as you walk with it. I missed a nice tom the first year I had it, but have hit everything I aimed at with it since then.
