Re: 870 compact 20 Indian creek chokes and tss

Save even more with a Remington Super Full (RSF .572). With the 1-5/8 oz handload of 9’s I use, mine averages over 300 in the 10” and more than 200 in the 10”-20”. I also have a IC .555. It will match or exceed the RSF 10” numbers but not the 10”-20” numbers and has a few gaps. I rarely hunt with it...

Re: Rib Mount Reflex sight mounts

Shame there’s not an “over the counter” rib mount for a FF akin to the mount for Aimpoint’s s-1 micro. Aimpoint is the ticket if you got $700 laying around.

Re: New regulations for SC

Historically, I think you would be right. Early in the seasons dominant birds often have large harems of hens and therefore gobble little after flydown and are essentially uncallable. They account for a big part of the breeding, so turkeys had a built in protection against this early overharvest of...

Re: My 2019 Season (LONG Read LOTS of Pictures)

Well done! I’m lifting a prayer now for any turkey that dares to gobble in your presence if you happen to ever achieve average hunter status in the future. I hope get to enjoy similar experiences with your son in a few years.

Re: #9 penetration ?

I often find TSS in breasts of turkeys I’ve shot, including some I’ve shot that were facing me and well less than 50 yards away. I have no doubt there was also shot that passed slap though and embedded 2” deep in a hardwood behind the turkeys. My suspicion is that there are always a few flyers and l...
