Large shot on top of small shot I assume.

These duplex’s impressed me and I’m gonna load some 8s and 9.5 and see how they do

Couple merriams recently completed…hopefully one day I’ll get to kill one for myself

I bought the base model ATN THOR-4 and I really like it…used it yesterday morning in the rain and with all the humidity it made it hard to see the terrain but then piggies still lit up….don’t know if I know how to post a video yet…if someone wants to point me in a direction I’ll post the video

Still no word on the ported jebs?

Gallon ziploc bag would do better than this….2 trash bags for turkeys

[/quote] Sorry, I disagree on this point. Putting a bird, head first, down the leg of panty hose ( cut to fit the bird ), lays all of the feathers down naturally, and keeps them from getting ruffed up or losing them. Works great with pheasants and grouse and waterfowl. Then you can put a tag on thei...

Please please please…..never put a bird in panty hose….ever…….does absolutely nothing and is a wasted step

Also I try to walk customers through simple field cleaning but I also charge a repair fee for major screw ups…no need for holes where there are no holes to start with

How did is shoot before and after? Was there a noticeable difference?

Anybody ever had a fixed full barrel cut to allow for changing chokes? If so who did you use and how did it work out?
Plan on using the gun for ducks doves quail and turkey so I would like to be able to open it up a bit for quail and doves.

Not yet nobody has requested it

Well factory full does pretty good in my opinion....this was at 30 yards.....shoots a high but I can fix that federal TSS....130 in the 10”

Here is a better picture of the head of the bird I took to Nashville last week

Thanks guys....when painting a head I try to find a picture of one I like and try and copy it the best I can....sometimes however a few of them will end up kinda matching each other

Sumtoy I have a marlin 555 bolt action goose gun I may be sending to you

Figured I would share a few of my mounts with y’all from this year. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Have not pattered it yet....dad had a old mossberg in the safe and figured I would try it before buying a new gun....I’m not gonna try 40 with it....would like to keep it inside 30. I will post the results this weekend

Has anyone had luck with patterning federal TSS 9s out of the 26” factory fixed full barrel?
