I love the Cerakote tiger stripe I got from black doves. It was way more than I wanted to spend, but it looks great and has held up awesome.
If I had to do it all over again, I would just have got all the metal done in black. I wouldn't dip one.

Awesome pics! Congrats on an amazing season so far. Could ya give some specs on some of those daggers!?

Awesome! Well worth being late.

http://www.longbeardcalls.com/calls.htm can build you a long box that sounds exactly like this hen http://vid23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/nonnydarnell/MVI_0141.mp4 Unfortunately that hen couldn't call a gobbler to save her life, because she sounds like a box call. :LMAO: Part of me feels the same...

I love my SS kwila/poplar box. My bro has been slaying them with his Maple/butternut SS. I agree that you can tell when someone is using one, but a lot of times they seem to pull a gobble when nothing else will. I like to use them to locate mostly, but sometimes if the bird is eating it up I use the...

Way to go hookedspur, awesome!

Awesome season! Congrats.

My M2 20 and 12 both shoot POA. Well, my 20 shoots about 3-4" high which is perfect for me.

Way to go Lilly and Tommy!

Man I would be done with choke searching after that pattern!

That's gonna be awesome Stump!

I would try undertaker .582

Great stuff Hal!

Does the 2.25 oz load put up better numbers for you than a 2 oz load?[/quote]
It does for me Gunslinger. The 2.25oz is a pretty grotesque load of sweet overkill.

That's awesome! Ricco is the man!

575-585 makes for nice evenly distributed patterns. There is no need for the ten ring to have more than 250. A filled 10-20 allows for some forgiveness inreal world situations like bird moving, adrenaline flowing, and awkward shooting positions. Most of the tight patterns are real good 15" patterns...

I can't read so good

I would think as close as the bird would need to be given the sparse pattern, that penetration would not be an issue. So lead 9's may be the choice when shooting 10ish yards. I saw a video where guy crawled on one with a fan and shot him at about 3 steps.

Says ber/ben on choke. I am guessing that is mobil.
