Basicly I patterned at 25 and 35 paces. The 35 pace mark were VERY generous paces.
That's why I said I was close to 40 yards at my farthest mark.
Anyway, at 25 good paces pellets in the kill zone were almost countless. I mean it really put a hurt on the target.
At the next mark close to 40 yards... but not quite, I was getting 9 to 12 kill pellets.
I used a H.S. target and only counted head or spine hits.
It did seem to spread out quite a bit from 25 paces, but I don't get caught up in long shots. I've never taken them and I don't plan to in the future. So in the range where I have shot, and will continue to shoot turkeys it works for me. Hope this helps.
