I can understand what you are saying Topgun 3006.. I know here with the turkey laws only requiring a full choke and a shot size of 4 threw 6 being the only requirements. It can make one wonder how many may have been wounded because of these basic requirements. I know my shotgun has only a full choke as well. But, the extra barrel length more than makes up for the extra full chokes and the like. So the pattern is very tight. I am also using the 3 inch Winchester Supreme #6 shot Max which delivers 1350 foot pounds out of it. But, the average shotgun does not deliver this type of pattern or range out of it. So yes, it is very important for the new turkey hunter that is limited on what they have to use for a turkey gun to be able to read this and hopefully understand what is being said here..

I am most likely stuck with just the front bead unless i get it tapped out for another sight to be mounted in which I do not have the desire to do with it..
