I harvested my Gobbler at 6 steps last year with a Mossberg 835 that has marsh grass come stock and forearm. The barrel and reciever is a matte black finish. I use the factory extra full turkey choke that came with it. I pattern my shotgun out to 25 yards.
I guess what I am trying to say is know the effectiveness of your particualr shotgun. If' you're new to turkey hunting, Don't get wrapped up in the kill, practice your calling and be patient. Bring em in close for the sure shot. If he hangs up at 50 yards and you puts on a show for you and you don't get a shot, The show was the hunt.
You're right Bobgobble all these choke companies have gotten to the point where they are making a long range sport and making us believe that we can harvest one at 60 yards with out any problems.
I have replied to many posts such as this one and again It is up to each hunter what range they want to shoot.
Like everyone else has said though, keep the movement to a minimum and let em get close.
