Well the guys and gals on here are putting you on the right path!!!! You need to shoot your gun with different loads and see which load patterns best with your gun. Then check this again at different yards,,,10,20,30,40 you got the picture. You need to know the gun limits and your limits. Dont rush the shot. Patience is the key to turkey hunting. Get some mouth calls and box calls and pratice all the time!!!!!!!! With some calls you buy they have a cd with them to teach you how to use them sound wise, try to do the same when listening to it. Remember with a mouth call you may need to trim them, to fit right in your mouth. Start with triming alittle at a time to much and they wont fit right and you will have a hard time keeping them your mouth. If it is legal in your state get some decoys, a jake and 2 hens works out great if you can use them. Remember when you call if does not sound good to you it may sound good to a turkey or may not. Keep practicing with the calls you buy........ If you have a wood stricker remember if its raining out and they get wet they will not work right so also get a plastic stricker and practice with both...Hope this helps you out alittle but remember I`m no expert just a turkey hunter.....Take care and good luck
