2-1/2 ounces of nickel plated lead #4's want to know why TSS is needed?

China can keep their expensive TSS...

Cuz an ounce and a half of nines patterns better and doesn't break your jaw from recoil...lol

Shoot a 20 guage. 3 in the head he,s dead

Not the 'rest' but 5 more correct.  Still 4 more out there from the Top 10.  Also heard the $31K vest did not come with any calls and if so those calls are still out there too.

Ya know I used to say the exact same thing, but it's just not the truth. So much misinformation out there that's been spread throughout the years. Let's break it down!

Everybody wants to shoot 1-5/8oz of shot out of a little 5 pound 20 gauge. Apex usually runs about 1200 FPS. With these specs you are producing 69.2 foot pounds of felt recoil.

In an SP-10 Remington, shooting 2.5oz of lead at 1200 FPS, you produce 71.8 foot pounds of felt recoil. Just 2 more pounds. The difference is negligible.

In my experience, the heavier 10ga has a much gentler recoil than the sharp recoil of a light 20 gauge

Those lightweight sub gauge guns shooting heavy payloads of TSS are recoil machines

Turkey Guns / Re: 12 GA Versus 20 GA .... ?

I certainly understand where you're coming from.  I've had those same debates with myself.   I still enjoy my 20g but I've said that once my 20g TSS is gone, I'll only use the 410 from then on. 

It's way lighter, almost no recoil and I can get better patterns from it than I can my 12g w/lead. 

Just something else to consider.

Turkey Call Classifieds / SS Calls “Oreo” Boxcall

Last post by letinmfly - Today at 08:45:13 AM

Here's one that some have probably never seen.  Al and Josh haven't made this style call in years.  It's a shorty but with all the sound of a standard size box. 
Ebony and Holly which gives it real eye appeal with a killer sound.  Call is in new condition!
Asking $200 TYD PayPal only. 

Last pic depicts size comparison to a standard box.

LEARNING TO TURKEY HUNT / "Sitting down to a turkey"

Last post by chingson - Today at 08:43:14 AM

Good morning all,

A little background and context before my question to yall. I am 28 I have been turkey hunting hard since I turned 16 and could drive myself. Those first few years were rough as I did not have many places/turkeys to hunt. Through many years of trial and error I have gotten to where I kill 1-3 birds a season around my home states. The past few years have been much more consistently sucessful.

However, it seems every season there is a "lesson" that is the central theme of my season. Spring of 2024 I missed out on three different longbeards due to what I assume is "sitting wrong".

My first question is, when turkey hunters speak on "sitting down to a turkey" are they referring to the direction you are facing when you are working a bird? That is what cost me. I am right-handed and three different birds came in wide, and I was stuck and had to watch them walk on by. One instance two birds were ten steps from me.

As a right-handed shooter, should I put my left shoulder towards the gobbling? What if the bird swings way left at that point?

Also, is there another definition of "sitting down to a turkey" that I am missing?

Billy and I traded at least 1 call a year, always in person, with the words this is for you. The last few years we both knew that the other was not able to hunt, but it was a part of us that we were leaving with the other, because we lived so far apart and couldn't see each other often. All of these calls are priceless because that's all I have left of him. Some thing you can't put a price on, to me and a lot of other people Billys calls are one of them.

Beautiful sentiment

Wow, that's incredible! Some folks got them deep pockets, and I imagine some of that money will go back into conservation programs, so good on them.
