Re: Red-Dot and shimming

While some shooters prefer a slightly higher pattern for better visibility, having it closer to 50/50 can indeed help center the red dot within the pattern, potentially enhancing your sight alignment. Your plan to pattern the gun before mounting the optic is a smart approach, providing a baseline un...

Re: Gun Mounted Video Camera

My main problem/thought on the Tactacam (or similar) is that if it is attached to your gun (or another part of the body) the shot recoil is going to always be a problem,...which pretty much means if you want to get a good video of the actual shot, you would always have to have another camera running...

Re: Single shot 12 gauge

I don't think there is a single-shot 12 gauge lighter than the Yildiz TK12. Mine weighs 4.25 lbs. I took advantage of the solid rib to mount a Skinner Peep and Marble post, but there is no reason a red dot can't be mounted. Gil I put together a new bike last year and used it on my deer hunt. Taking...

Re: Best Turkey Chair

I have 2, the Mossy oak turkey seat from Wally World (about $19 from here ) and the Alps Outdoors Turkey chair (about $35 I believe). Both are very comfortable. Both are somewhat heavy, 4 to 5 lbs. But I will give up weight for comfort. I will normally set for extended periods of time so I will grab...

Re: new to turkey hunting

A very good friend of mine asked me to make him a set of wing bone calls to commemorate his Wild Turkey Grand Slam.
(A Grand Slam is one of every sub-species of turkeys in the US... Eastern, Osceola, Merrium's & Rio Grande)
DO you have any ideas?

Re: Number 1 hunting tip

I was recently asked by a novice turkey hunter what was my best hunting tip gleaned by almost 4 decades of chasing gobblers and without hesitation I told him, "You can't kill them in the bed!" If you're not out there with them, you won't kill squat! I've killed quite a few gobblers just b...

Re: Snake Boots

I'm also looking to buy a new pair of snake boots. I would like to get a pair of zip-up style boots. I am looking for a value price pair. I purchased a pair of Justin Square Toe style 10 1/2D from shoe section here and they are not a great fit for me. Any suggestions would be appropriate. I have ver...

Re: Covid question?

How was your physical fitness in COVID? When were you able to return to exercise? I usually played table tennis in my home garage in lockdown season. I've read all kinds of things about returning to exercise here including taking 4-6 weeks off after covid! I know you aren't supposed to exercise whil...

Re: Todays Laugh.

A farmer stopped by the local garage to have his truck fixed. They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and would just walk home. On the way home he stopped at B & Q and bought a bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the market and picked up a couple of chick...

Re: Filing a choke to change POI

I have mentioned filing a choke to change POI on one of my sxs guns, and I've been asked to explain how to do it, so here goes. I started experimenting with sxs guns several years ago and found that its very hard to find one that shoots both barrels to the exact same poi with turkey loads, and espe...
