Hey Tom good luck with the new SBE. How are you going to set it up? Spring will be here soon enough!

I put my Aimpoint Micro S rib mount Red dot on it with an Indian Creek .570 choke. Shoots Long beard 6's and Federal 9's real nice. Carlsons Choke also a fine shooting tube. The gun is fantastic. Can't wait to tote it this spring. Be safe buddy

Sounds like a great set up, best of luck with it. Aimpoint is top of the line, I still have one that is 10 + years old.

Thanks, and best of luck to you too!

I have a similar deal with my Affinity 3 20ga Elite.  I bought it to shoot doves, quail, pheasants, ducks, etc.  It won't consistently cycle a "standard" 1210fps 7/8 oz bird load.  Called Franchi.  Tech indicated that I wasn't using a "hot" enough trap load.  I advised that the manual called for a 7/8oz 1200fps load as a minimum.  I like the gun enough that I have just started shooting 1300fps 7/8oz loads, but Win AA are more $ than the regular stuff.  Hoping that it loosens up but we are on year 2 and there's nothing more frustrating than your $1000 shotgun not functioning in an infested dove field. It will probably be the last inertia gun that I will own.

One of the men responded with the very popular answer that it was because so few folks use them and it's something different to the turkeys. Mr. Billy Buice interrupted..."That's wrong.....it's not that they don't hear that sound....it's the sound that they hear everyday!!!"

I believe that is 100% true.

I practice my calls year round. Not daily but several times a week. After deer season I ramp it up though. This year I want to listen to a lot more hen talk. Where do you guys find audio to listen to.

I usually start when the Holliday season ends. The  decorations will go up in the attic and my garage clears out somewhat. Then, my deer gear gets put together put away in early February.

My play room is then organized (Garage) and I start to tinker with everything turkey. Bones, pots and boxes.

Soon I will order some additional latex to assemble some new calls. I usually don't run them until a month out.
