Turkey Guns / Re: Browning A5Last post by Tom007 - Today at 10:22:04 PMGood advice. The Sweet 16 fired flawlessly from a bench when I patterned it. It also fired perfectly standing up. When I duplicated the condition where it did not cycle the 2nd shell in to the chamber by sitting against a tree in a Turkey situation, it failed. The angle of leaning away from the tree, looking through the Red dot just created a weak shoulder contact leading to cycling problems. The Gun barely kicked even with Apex TSS Turkey loads. You tube videos highlights this problem if you find the reviews. I never had this issue or any cycling problems with the SBE Benelli's which are also inertia driven. This is just what I experienced, I harvested 2 Tom's with the Sweet 16, both times the gun didn't cycle the 2nd shell. I decided that I didn't want to take a chance on failure during the moment of truth, so I moved on to the SBE. Maybe the 20 doesn't have this issue, you can do the research and check it out. Good luck with whatever you end up with.

Turkey Guns / Re: Browning A5Last post by Ihuntoldschool - Today at 09:32:25 PMGood point. It's an inertia gun like every other inertia gun a firm shoulder mount is key. This is certainly not unique to the Browning kinematic action.
No hip shooting, no overhead or behind the back trick shots. And I wouldn't recommend holding that thing out from your shoulder giving it room to build up momentum before it whacks your shoulder. If its the dead of winter and you're layered in thick , heavy winter clothes then yeah that can interfere with a firm shoulder mount on ANY inertia gun. The lighter the load the more likely you'll have the occasional cycling issue. The DS guns shoot really well . I would bet it's lights out with TSS. #9

Turkey Locator Calls / Re: Peacock call locatorLast post by bigwoodstom - Today at 09:18:39 PMTruth be told, about any sudden high pitched noise is subject to yank a gobble out of one. Had a Illinois Tom gobble at the keyless entry noise on Anthony Ellis's Bronco last Spring.
