It's just a little something I threw together years ago. But it seems to have helped out GOBS of folks take any mystery out of a pretty simple process since then.
Good article but they didn't tell you how to sight in your shotgun. After you shoot, turn the target over and find the center of your pattern, poke something through the target and see how far you are from point of aim. Best done with a bulls eye type target, not a turkey head.
You make a good point. However the article was written as a simple tutorial.
When I truly "dial in" a turkey gun I shoot as many as 10 patterns with the best performing shotshell/choke tube combo at a 1" bull on 30" paper. I then take an 8" glass circle and locate the densest part of each pattern. Out of that 8" circle I locate the 3" core of density in each. Then I measure the left/right and up/down variance of the center of the 3" core from my P.O.A. I average all the measurements from both axes and adjust the gun's P.O.I. accordingly.
