    Default turkey shot density
    Just getting started in turkey hunting and was wondering what is the ideal density of shot in the kill zone (neck) of the turkey. I'm shooting a Remington 1100 with Federal 2 3/4 Mag-Shoks. At 20 yrds I'm getting about 15 hits (neck), but at 40 yrds just 4 hits. What is considered adequate for turkey hunting?

    Sounds like your gun is typical of a 2 3/4" gun... 30 yards may be your limit...

    You prob have a lot of work before it's a 70 yard gun
