Shot placement

Post by Gobbler »

I noticed on TV some folks "SHOOT DA GOBBLER" in the back or low. I always have been told to shoot the Gobbler in the head and neck.

Where do you like to shoot a Gobbler (Shot Placement)?

I aim to put the center of the pattern on the center point of his brain/spinal cord target area. So I aim at the middle of his neck, assuming it's outstretched. That maximizes my margin for error.

I shoot'em in the eye. Makes them easier to sneak up on if a second or third shot is needed.
