Shortly after deer season ends, my thoughts turn to the ol' turkey birds! It was a nice 59 degree day here in the lovely state of South Carolina and I have been itching to sight in my new Stevens 301 410.
It is well established that the guy right here behind the keyboard will fall for a new gimmick, especially one clad in Mossy Oak, and a 410 turkey gun surely fall into that category. Oh well!! After mounting a nice red dot and buying some Federal TSS #9 shells (ouch!!) I decided today was the day to dial the little peashooter in.
Today results were promising... 203 hits in a 10" circle at 20 yards and 72 hits in a 10" circle at 40 yards using the factory choke. 40 yards is usually my max distance turkey hunting anway, regardless of weapon, so I think this little guy will work out just fine!
By the way, if you have dialed in a turkey gun before, you know that it's sometimes accompanied by a dislocated shoulder
