Default RE: Red dot for turkeys?

Because I recently broke my right thumb, I'm going to shoot left-handed this spring while my thumb heals. I had a gunsmith put a Bushnell Holoscope on my shotgun, because I figured without a red dot I'd have no consistency in my aim. The gunsmith told me that the Bushnell Holoscope was probably the best, or at least one of the best, in his opinion. He also told me that a lot of the cheaper red dot scopes will "blow up" from the shock of a shot. I've shot about 20-25 rounds since I got the Holoscope, to get comfortable with it, to sight it in, and to pattern the new Federal Heavyweight Mag Shok Flite control shells. So far, I've had no problems. The Holoscope is easy to operate. I think I'll probably keep the scope on the gun even after my hand heals. I think it helps me think about where I'm aiming and looking through the scope reminds me to squeeze, not jerk the trigger.
