Due to the tight choke patterns used to hit a turkey's head/neck vital area, he will need to learn to "aim" his shots. 1st a turkey gun needs to be sighted-in from the bench like you would do a rifle. A vented rib with 2 posts sights is minimum, better is the iron rifle sights leaf sights used by deer hunters shooting slugs, best is a the special scope for turkey shotguns.
My guess is he's not lined up right on the target. What sights are on his shotgun?
