First off, I want to say that I have been reading these message boards for a couple weeks now and you all have been very helpful! I am new to turkey hunting (and hunting in general) and need a little advice.

I have an old Mossberg bolt action 16-gauge and was wondering what size shot I should use, and at what range I should go for.

Thanks in advance!

PS - If I get a turkey with the 16 gauge, my dad will buy me a new 12-gauge of my choosing! Wish me luck!

1st,Welcome to the flock
2nd,Good luck this Spring.
3rd,Get some diffrent shells and shoot them at 20,25,30yds etc.This will tell you what shot patterns best out of your gun and also tell you your max.range.

good luck bloodhound, on gettin your turkey, and that new 12 ga!!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
good advice from jalvja!

my brother has one of those & it is a great shooting gun! I think in his #6's do really nice! if you have the ploychoke on it then you can really experiment with it!
