Just got my first turkey gun and got it patterned today. Here's my best target. It was at 40 yards, measured with a rangefinder. Check it out. I was thinking about trying a tighter choke and seeing if I can get close to 200 in the circle. What do y'all think?

good pattern get a 670 and watch out

I keep telling myself I don't need a .670 but boy am I curious to see how much my pattern density could improve.

Looks like the shot might have been a touch left..... But it's a very dead bird.  I believe I'd adjust the sight just a little bit and go hunting.  Looks great for 5's!!!!

It was a very windy day. The wind was swirling from behind me and coming right to left. I was doing my best to time my shots when I felt little to no wind. But I still think it affected a couple of the shots. I was really surprised at how little wind it took to throw the pattern off at 40 yds. It makes sense since the pellets are so light, I just hadn't done it before and was surprised to see the results.

dead bird all day long
something in the .675-.680 range would probably tighten it up some, but dead is dead
it's not the harvest,it's the chase
