Aiming point Question????
 
Where do you all aim on the turkey. I have always aimed on the neck right below the head but on the new Mossy Oak Turkey school video I was watching they were telling a young hunter to aim at the very bottom of the neck at what seemed like the top of the breast feathers. What is everybody elses opinion on this???

They might have said that because they were young and they could not control the recoil as well. JMO

I make the little head disapear behind the Barrel. When they are close I center it on their head. Let the shot String work the rest.

Out to 25 yards at the spot of where the feathers meet the neck. 25 to 40 at the head...BT

Lower part of the neck, just above where the feathers start, on fairly close shots. On longer shots I will aim where the head joins the neck to allow for a little bit of gravity on the pellets.

I use three different guns and all pattern a little different. One I hold just under the head where feathers stop..one I hold dead on the head and one I hold about 8" below the head.
