Turkey Gun Sights & Optics / Re: sighting in red dot with b...Last post by Tail Feathers - Today at 12:03:51 AMThe term for the difference in the height of the dot and the center of the bore is "mechanical offset". The average mechanical offset of a turkey gun with a reflex sight is probably 1-1.5". That is at point blank range.
At 40 yards, drop isn't much of a factor, pretty negligible actually. So if you sight in dead on at 12 yards, you are probably 1" high at most at 40. I'm sure there is a ballistics chart out there that could help figure it exactly. I sight in at 10-12 yards with heavy 6's and try to get it a half inch low a that range. That has worked well at 40 with TSS 9's for me. #3

General Forum / Re: Late season is such a grin...Last post by Dougas - May 28, 2024, 11:18:49 PMOn opening day, April 15th, in my area of Oregon, you can be guaranteed gobbling from the limb in the mornings and as the season goes on gobbling from the limb is slightly less likely to occur. Occasionally I will get one to gobble to my call, but usually not. The same is true for shock gobbles. Other than first thing in the mornings, I just reckon that no gobbling does not equal no toms. I will try to strike one up and if I don't, I go to areas that they seem to like to loaf in or travel between areas and call for at least an hour before I switch. Sometimes I'll stay in one spot for several hours as they tend to move around searching for hens. My calling is done sparingly and tends to be soft clucks, purrs and feeding sounds, with 3 to 5 note yelps as mentioned above in a previous reply.
