I'm going to be patterning my shotgun pretty soon here and I was planning on printing off some turkey targets from the internet. My question is, what is the approx. size as an actual turkey head so I can figure out how much I need to alter the target before I print it off for accurate results. How tall is the head/neck area, how big around is the head area, etc? Thanks!

About the size of your hand

really!?! thats seems really big to me, unless im jus gulible or something

How long is their neck? I've never killed a turkey before so I'm trying to get a rough idea of what their size is to make my target the same, thus getting accurate pellet counts.

A turkeys head is about 2 inches wide and 3 inches long and it's neck is about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide.

I ment to say fist[&:]

Just print out this turkey head and call it good...

That was one of the targets I was looking at. I might make myself a few of those along with another that I found. Hopefully this rain clears up a little and I can get some shooting in before dark.

I like the one from the remington site my self.

What Mr.Longbeard said,I make a fist and trace from about the middle of my forearm up around and back down the other side.Use a black felt tip marker.This is pretty close.
