[QUOTE="Captain_Ahab, post: 5833790, member: 562719"] Ummmm.....negative. I have gotten pellet pass throughs (Through one breast, through the breast bone, lodged in opposite breast) at 50 yards with "hevi-shot" loads. (These loads are denser/heavier than normal lead loads and retain more energy). You can lose chest shot turkey if you don't get far enough back to hit the vitals and don't have a sufficient pattern.I really don't know what you consider the chest, so I won't go much further along..Right behind the beard, from the front part of the wing up, yes that MAY be a "dead zone". But pattern "fliers" should get pellets in the vitals/head/neck/spine. If a turkey is [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif[/IMG]:veryhapp:[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif[/IMG] I just wish I could share a bit with everyone here so they would gain some respect for this magnificent creature.
