Too long for 6's, put a 1/4 inch 36 x 36" piece of cardboard up at that range, you will probably see #6 shot stuck in the cardboard.  Just my opinion, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings

I think you put a turkey up at that range and watch him flop on the ground.. People always seem to think lead #6 just won't get it done.. Been they're done that and rode that horse.. Dead turkey all day.  :gobble:

he does not shoot that far at birds. it was a test to see what his pattern is like. he is old school and wants them at the end of his gun barrel. with that said I have on accident (grossly misjudged) killed 2 birds past what this target was with 6 shot. was it luck? yes it was but did the pellets retain enough to take the bird yes they did.

when I get out to shoot my gun I will do the cardboard test and post it here. and no you did not hurt my feelings. we are turkey hunters and everyone of use has a different opinion.
