Turkey Gun Sights & Optics / Re: Benelli thread diameter?

Last post by Gman - February 17, 2026, 07:34:58 PM

Just wanted to let you know that I went with the XS Sight System universal standard dot shotgun vent rib sight in green. It is a permanent mounted sight and the green dot is a larger diameter than the factory red Benelli tube sight. Very easy to install and I'm going to my range tomorrow to check for point of aim/impact at 35 yards with WLBXR #6 shot. Bonus, it is Made in the USA!

Trumpets are fun because of the the time it takes to feel confident with them.  Lots of practice there for sure

Appreciate the input guys. I definitely want to try another trumpet. Is Mr. Mero on OG or does anyone know the best way to contact him?

Well said davis9.  Yes those are all good choices for not breaking the bank. I would add David shoemaker to the list.  The rasp is the guy running the call. Spit works wonders there.  Lemon drops are a common stand by for making it easier.  Especially at first light as all you taste is coffee.  Something sweet will make sweet sounds way easier.

Trumpets / Wingbones Forum / Re: Clear vs rasp on trumpets?

Last post by Tarheel - February 17, 2026, 07:20:54 PM

For me, generally, if I loosen my lips I can usually get more rasp (saliva doesn't hurt either) , but I'm sure it's different for others and there are more factors at play.

That's how Lewis Stowe instructed others to do it............

General Forum / Re: TSS prices will go up soon

Last post by BDeal - February 17, 2026, 07:13:02 PM

You know we are all complaining about the prices of TSS and most of us don't have a problem paying for calls that have gone up in price .. calls that used to cost 100 dollars for example now cost 500 pus to a 1000 dollars... I think you know what calls i'm talking about.. LOL

So I'm not going to let the price of TSS make me go back to carrying my 12 gauge for NOW ... YOU never know what the future may hold... IMO

I have issue with a lot of the call prices, probably more that than the TSS. The rising cost of TSS makes sense, $200 pot calls do not.

Totally agree. The price of some of these calls is beyond ridiculous. I refuse to ever pay more than $150 for any call-EVER. Most of mine are $100 or much less.

In regard to recoil, there is a significant difference between my 12 and 20 gauges.

I've given away several of my Mabry boxes over the years as gifts and in retrospect I wish I'd just got them a Red Lobster gift card instead.

Good thing I still have plenty.
