Nice photo! What are you having built for a turkey rifle?

I spent some time with "Shadowmaker" (my Sells .36 flinter) at the range today. Practiced offhand taking head shots at the "Shotgun Pattern" turkey target. Now that was fun! She's ready to go with 40 grains 3f.

I guess you know those 'live' turkey heads don't sit still like a paper target
:grin:
They're constantly moving, turning, jerking left, right, up, down, etc...they're worse than a deer...for what its worth, it seems like it would be a pretty risky target for a rifle but that's just me...a ball angling into the side from the front under the wing root would get into the vitals for sure
:v

you guys are all so lucky to start early...I have to wait till may 3rd up here in the great white north, and even then we will have patches of snow in the more shaded parts of the forest. and then the blackflies come out! allthough our birds are starting to gobble allready, that sound makes my heart race...

My brother had the same thought, Roundball! But the turkey target only shows head and neck, so I was just practicing. When Mr. Gobbler shows up, I intend to take the shot you described :wink:

I'll be finished with my new turkey rifle (a .36cal tennessee rifle with a l/h manton flintlock)within 2 weeks, saw a group of 50 -70 birds here by my house the other day,I'm really lookin forward to it. Our season starts in april this year I beleive. Last year it took me 30 minutes to fill my tag.

Great photo. We get to start on March 28th cant wait.
