RE: To scope, or not to scope, that is the question!
Its great to see all those that put an honest effort in maximizing the performance of their guns.I'm not a scope user myself cause I cant fix something that aint broke and am more than comfortable with results that I get not only on paper but in the field too.If you feel a scope would improve your point of aim than as so many others have posted buy one.I appreciate BT's comment on understanding a scope on your turkey gun doesn't make it shoot further it improves your point of aim.Zvedder I saw a reply you made on another forum the other day that 40 yards seems to be the standard that everyone uses nowadays to determine the success of the pattern of there gun.I remember when it was 30 and 35 too.To all those novice turkey hunters out there dont be fooled by tighter chokes,heavier faster loads,and scopes mean you can take longer shots.There meant to improve the overall performance of your gun at ranges that are ethical to harvesting your bird. It may look good on paper but put yourself in a real hunting situation where limbs,weeds,fiolage and other obstacles may be in your way and its alot tougher.Its not all about how far your gun can shoot its about callin em in close. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
