I'm not necessarily a fan of going all the way up to 10 shot but like the idea of pattern density to give him room for error since he's only 7yrs old. We weren't going to shoot over 30yds anyway. I gotta tell ya, the pattern is very very impressive at 30. I now fear that the wife's 20 has now been confiscated by the lil man and he now calls it "his" turkey gun.
It really is for the wife but I can't promise I won't use it for her. ha. I ordered some Federal in #9 to give a go and also will pick up some longbeard in either 5 or 6 to see how that patterns. They said it probably won't ship till the 9th so it won't make it here for the opening but it should be here before I head to the SE part of the state for the eastern season. I will probably take it with me if I ever make it down to Florida also. Hoping to draw out next year. I still like my 12g for the open country hunting I do out in West Oklahoma just cause I have a heck of a time judging yardages out there. Have been known to take a bit further shots thinking they were much closer. Need to start setting a marker out at my limit to help I guess.
