My Carlson's .570 won't do those numbers. Usually around 250 in the 10". Those are all good patterns.

Build out a little cubby hole on one wall to put a portable heater. Out of the way and doesn't take up floor space that way. Being cold in the stand isn't fun anymore. I like the price you have going on there!

Happy Birthday Ronnie!

You share a birthday with my oldest daughter.

I'd say you have a killer set up and have it dialed in.

Great gun and you did on getting it.

Some good deer there. i wouldn't have passed on any of them either.

Kingslayer puts a lot of light back at your eye. You can turn it down but, it’s a bit much. I have one. Outside that, it is fine.

Did he learn to make those in prison?

Some of it depends on the powder used. I'm sure our reloaders could give more on that. Like Dtrkyman, my 20 gauge has a 22" barrel and give great TSS patterns. Remember, you're probably adding a 2" choke to the barrel length. I have chrongraphed any of my loads so I can't say if how much i...

Looking forward to some trophy pics.

Mine accounted for two birds this spring. Bird 3 was taken with the SX3. No gripes, that Mcarbo spring is worth the money. The trigger is good.

:? For whatever reason this seems to be a new topic to many. In Florida it is not. To many's dismay e bikes are currently highly restricted on Florida WMAs and public lands. Only class one bikes without throttles are legal as of now. The e bike whiners are hard at work lobbying to get this changed ...

They shoot the same weight of shot so I guess it comes down to which one you want to carry and shoot. I've seen some pretty incredible 28 patterns that are every bit the match of a 20 ga pattern. I've not shot a 28 ga but it seems to be a choice of preference, not performance.

I saw a hen break into strut standing on a fallen tree. I saw a bobcat trying to hunt a flock of turkeys out in front of me. They busted him pretty quick. I jumped a hen who was hiding in a bush along a highway. I think she may have been nesting there. Sparse country amd I busted her out before firs...

I wear the Tetra amp pod 90’s… best money I’ve spent in years. My directional hearing is terrible since I have more loss in my right ear. However the Tetras have corrected that. I can now hear lots of sounds in the turkey woods that I’ve been missing for years. I got some this year. They help a lot...

I didn’t know that. Good info that will factor into my next reflex sight.

Rut roh, I check all those boxes.

Congrats!!!! You will always remember that first one. Sounds like a fantastic hunt. You did good!
And that’s a great photo too.

The trigger wasn’t horrible but a $12 Mcarbo spring made it very acceptable.

I like mine. I just put a Carlson’s .570 in it and a Kingslayer green dot on it. 250 in the 10” circle at 40. Good 20” pattern too.
I left the sights on. I may remove them some day but they actually would work well if my eyes were younger I think. In a bind I could remove the dot and hunt them.

I've heard a lot of good about them. They are on the short list to be my next pair of hunting boots.

Every now and then you just get a gift bird. Congrats!

Congrats! Never even heard of a double snood.

for real?

. The key word for me is reliably. I defer to your expertise but we shouldn’t encourage 60+ yard shots. How many yards plus?
