Damascus in the Spring

[Mike Franzen]

David last season I killed a nice gobbler at 60 yards standing in a field with a Parker 10 gauge. I took another at approximately 50 yards flying. I had done extensive load development and patterning and was confident of the shot. I used black powder and full brass hulls. 45 yards with a Parker 10 is doable depending on the gun and load.

Daniel, I have made shots on turkeys that were in the 40-60 yard range many times with 10 ga. RST #5's (out of 32" tubes)....and all resulted in dead Toms! Long shots are not my norm because I like to call the birds in close but if I the birds don't cooperate, I have confidence in making a long shot.
