    You are obviously a better turkey hunter than I am Caramel. Getting 20-30 feet from a turkey is not that easy. Unless of course you could hunt in Ft. Steele RV Park here near Cranbrook.

    For the last 3 years i have been turkey hunting exclusively with my Ravin (crossbow ).

    All of my toms are killed between 3 and 10 yards. I wonder how much energy each number 12 pellet carry and a what distance, could be surprising.
    Yep, fixed wing is great but rotary wing is ... GREAT. Life is good. JP.

    Here is a Video of the Shotgun patterning. For use on Mice, Pigeon's, Wasps Etc... Rifling makes #12shot basically useless because you can't get close enough before critters scurry away.
    I personally would not use it for Rabbits or similar sized animals but smaller pests well this would be perfect. I would have loved one of these 20yrs ago on the farm instead of having to use a Ruger Airhawk single shot air rifle to avoid shooting throgh roofs....i could have taken out whole flocks of pigeons with one mag tube load.

    Looks like i'll be ordering another Henry.

    That is awesome Caramel, yeup your definitely a better turkey hunter than me.

    My wife and I also shoot a Ravin Crossbow, R26.

    At 3-5 yards, I can see this Henry penetrating a Tom's head. We want pics when you do my friend.

    Shoot, now I want one of these gorgeous Henry Garden Guns, damn you Caramel!.........

    LOL at turkey hunting with this thing.

    It does my red squirrels in nicely. I've got them on the run on the eaves trough about to make it to the latest opening they've made for me to fix. The shot doesn't hurt the house but puts a stop to their tyranny.

    I've shot some regular rounds out of my smooth bore (an old Anschutz single shot bolt action) and like someone else here said the accuracy isn't too bad. I've hit squirrels regularly with Quiet-22's from this gun too. Overall it's been very useful to me for pest control. I'm sure the Henry would just be even better, especially being a repeater.
    I love not man the less, but nature more.

    Any issues feeding the crimped loads. Or is the cci style pill required?

    Cool regardless of answer
    You’re not completely useless, you can always serve as a bad example.
