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?

Dead turkey for sure.

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 turkey, just hold a tight bead and your good.

nice pattern, lots of 5's in that tom. get the stuffing ready!
Turkey samwiches there. :OGturkeyhead:
dead bird all day long
something in the .675-.680 range would probably tighten it up some, but dead is dead
Buddy I wouldn't touch anything. Great looking pattern for #5
Why tinker with that many 5's in his noggin
I'd take it to the wood's.
I'm shooting long beard #5s 2 1/8 oz out a 835 with 24" barrel with a star dot 676 and I have been getting around 220 .

Shoot it at 20 and as yourself if you still want it tighter. You have yourself a very nice pattern for 5's, I would leave it as is!
