bit of a story behind these
(2nd lot of 3 as 3 is plenty for a meal for us )
Here’s the story behind these coming about
I opened my mouth to a mate who now resides on king island ( a island just off tassies nw coast ) as he has a heap of turkeys over there & asked when I was bringing the shotgun over to get a feed or 2
Ha me being me
I replied with a shotgun !!! No way that’s 2 easy I’ll bring a rifle 
Then reply of we want the meat ( he probably thought my 500
) & I said no all headshots 
So agreed then reality hit
On king island the wind never stops blowing & turkeys I hadn’t shot for years & overall my headshot days are basically long gone ( it was a necessity on some of my culls or you didn’t get paid & prided myself on the % I obtained over many years yet a turkeys head man alive is a lot smaller than roo let alone deer or bigger critters )
So I’ve started practicing & what better way than on these flappers as I get to practice & they eat great
So from the first 3 I’ve improved as they took 7 shots
This group of 3 I took 5 shots & feeling more comfortable with opening my mouth now but I guarantee I’ll miss but looking forward to getting over to the island in the new year
Before I go I’ll sight it in properly as it’s a touch high & ever so slightly to the left from where it’s impacting but no excuse for the missed shots as I knew that before the first shot
Oh & here’s one for you accuracy guys
I still haven’t cleaned this rifle from the brand spanking new barrel & I won’t until I put the other brands I’m going to test through it
I don’t think most would like to know the number count on this barrel so far but it’s pretty cool imo
I’m looking forward to turkey hunting again & report on how it pans out
Cheers
