We can use these in GA. I'd rather a cartridge gun, but that is not legal.

What is the practical range for a 3" kill zone on a 20 pound turkey? And while I'm posting about oddball stuff, how long do you think a reflex red dot sight would last sitting on one of these? I'm thinking I would get a conversion cylinder for all the necessary practice and perhaps cheat with a red dot.
