All I can say is once you try it , you will probably be hooked. Its fun as heck. They have awesome eyesight, just remember that. There are many on here much better at giving advice on hunting these birds, but if I were you,if you know where they are roosting,I would set up on them as close to there bedroom as possible. I got my first bowkill last spring by getting in really close.....close enough that at daylight we could see the Toms calling out to a hen from up in there tree. We copied the calls of the hen on the opposite side of the field, and low and behold he chose us. It was a rush! Believe me, its not easy, and you have to stay persistant. My first gobbler I took with my Grandfathers single shot full choke 20 gauge....so you should be fine....practice with your gun and test your bb pattern to see if its what you want. good luck and have fun.....Hint......Get a Thermacell!! Reason: Mosquitos are terrible in the spring.
