General Forum / Re: Best way to sight in a red...

Last post by TrackeySauresRex - January 29, 2026, 03:14:25 PM

Just wondering what everyone's approach is.  With the price of TSS, I don't want to use any more shells than necessary.  Do you sight in really close, like 10 yards, where it is easy to id the the true center of the pattern or further away, where the center may be more subjective?

I forgot to mention, if you visit the turkey gun tab you will see a great tab highlighted up top on patterning with great info.

Here's what I do.  Since most Red dots are 1/2" adjustment per click at 50, I shoot at a 30 X 30 piece of paper at 12.5 yards.  This will give you exactly 1/8" adjustment per click at 12.5 yards.  Dial it in with dove loads to the bullseye, till you are satisfied.  Then move to 40 and fire one turkey load and fine tune if necessary.  As stated, a bore snake between shots isn't a bad idea to keep the bore somewhat clean.

Trumpets / Wingbones Forum / Re: First trumpet call - need ...

I don't feel that I am the best to give advice. But my journey with the trumpet started with a wing bone. Once I could get a yelp I bought from a few different builders. I realized that I like flat mouth piece trumpets. Billy McAllister and Clay Townsend make my two favorite trumpets. But I've seen this advice on here before and it was to master one trumpet.
