Ok guys, tomorrow I'm going out for turkeys, there all around my area, flying over like lancasters over Germany, so what's the consensus, head or body shots?
I think I'll stick with the head."dirtbikerick"Ok guys, tomorrow I'm going out for turkeys, there all around my area, flying over like lancasters over Germany, so what's the consensus, head or body shots?
Penetration with a .30 really shouldn't be a problem. At 80fpe muzzle energy, a .30 44.75 JSB will shoot clean thru 1 foot of ballistics gel at 50 yards."0akhonor"Traditional heart/ lung shots broadside, won’t penetrate with .30 cal or below, unless you’re extremely lucky.
Turkey season in California doesn't open until March 31. As mentioned, head shots aren't the best bet. Aim for the base of the neck. All of the turkeys I've hit at the base of the neck didn't go very far, maybe a few feet. Even when hit in the head, it won't always drop them. You have no chance catching a running turkey. All of my turkeys have been taken with either an FX Royale or Taipan Mutant, both in .22. I take them to a local smokehouse. Nothing better than a smoked turkey"dirtbikerick"Ok guys, tomorrow I'm going out for turkeys, there all around my area, flying over like lancasters over Germany, so what's the consensus, head or body shots?
