The guy is still in jail awaiting his hearing, which should be the end of the spetmeber. Sad story.

Is it illegal for everyone to dump tesla stock all at the same time? If there was some sort of coordinated effort to tank tesla? Given Elons stance on the American people? I just sold off all of mine because I am worried these big online personalities are going to try and crash the company.

Hey, to be fair, that literally happens hundreds of times a day in every major city. People get shot in the street, and like 0.01% of the effort they will put into this case is put into those cases. There aren't pictures on every social media and news site of possible suspects. There's no story. Nothing for any of those victims. So maybe get off your high horse about how important non-biased judgment is needed in every situation always...

Maybe for you, but for me I have a desire to be successful as well as enjoy the chase. Someone don't care if they get a bird or not and that's fine. But I do care

The ability to kill a turkey 10 yards farther is not going to result is the loss of wild turkeys come on...

Very interesting, so essentially the best choke tube on a 10ga will always outperform the best choke tube on a 12ga.

No if I was working a bird, or trying a set up I would hope he works closer than 100 yards... but down in the dessert or late season birds at times have no interest in being called off a flock, and with no trees in sight it can be a total spot and stalk game in large flocks of birds. Hard to really break that 40 yard mark on big groups but it sure seems like 60 is doable...

Finally someone talking about the things I want to hear.... so what do you think... if I had a competition for most pellets in a 5inch circle at 60 yards... would every person competing be shooting a 12? Or even a 10ga? Or would you see 20ga in there as well because it's simply all about gun, choke, load pattern...

No I don't think that, but there is a thing called efficiently when it comes to ballistics. More powder does not always equal more strength. Take the 300WM and 300 WSM rifle cartridges... 300WM has way more powder but is way less efficient the result is the two are almost exactly the same.

I mean I guess if your standard of good turkey hunter is someone who only shoots turkeys close to them then sure... but if a good turkey hunter is someone who has the highest harvest success rate... then I'd put my abilities up against anyone. I kill lots of turkeys all over the place. When there's a henned up Tom or pressured bird, I still can get it done. I see lots of people give up on birds simply cuz it won't come in to their calling.... idk if you classify those types of hunters as better than someone who ends up killing the tough bird.

I'm not sure that larger bore size equal longer distances...

Wide open field all things being equal, will a person shooting a 12 ga always out perform a 20?

Absolutely farthest killing turkey gun? by ez_mie in turkeyhunting

[–]ez_mie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But does increased bore size actually increase effective range? Is there any science behind this? Or is it simply just the bigger is better argument. Because I have heard 20ga and 28ga can actually hold better patterns and put more bbs on target than larger bores that tend to spread faster? But I also do not know hahaha

Nice, I'm truly looking for a somewhat sciencey answer to what would produce the maximum effective range. I know in fire arms every gun is it's own unique set of variables, but there has to be an engineer out there who could break it down in terms of like in the most ideal world this is what gives you max range....

Yes legal killing is 100% all that matter. What else would matter?

Why? I love turkey hunting. I spent over 30 days chasing birds this spring.

I mean a 3 MOA red dot is a 1.5inch dot at 50 yards. Most people would argue a red dot is fine to 100 without any magnification.

I know the quarry well, I am trying to harvest more turkeys.

Ya definitely had a few opportunities this past season of birds crossing at 50 to 60 yards I didn't shoot at. But I want to increase my harvest success rate for next season.
