Pot Calls Forum / Re: Redbeard potsLast post by SA410Turkey - Today at 11:16:21 AMBadger,
How does your pocket call sound? I have one ordered in cocobolo, he told me it would be good for soft calling. His copper pots are out of this world, I love mine. #53
Turkey Guns / Re: Need help with 835 recoil ...Last post by Alabama556 - Today at 11:10:39 AMYou can buy a pre-fit pad from Limbsaver and probably other vendors. I cut an inch or so off my stock so I had to used a grind to fit pad.
I bought a Pachmyar recoil pad and sanded it down with a belt sander. The key is making sure you order the right size pad because they have a steel reinforcement ring in the pad base. If you order a pad that too large, you will hit the steel and not be able to take anymore material off. You can download a template from their website so you know what size pad to order. I just trace the outline of the stock size plus a 1/16 or so on the back of the pad and then sand off the edges. You can screw the pad to a piece of wood so you can control the pad better while grinding. I then put the pad on the gun and finish sanding. I have also used a stone grinder wheel before but the finish is rough and it makes a mess. This is the pad I like the best. There is no way to make an 835 pleasant to shoot but this pad helped some. https://www.lymanproducts.com/catalog/product/view/id/231/s/sc100-decelerator-sporting-clay/category/944/ Pre fit pads https://kickeezproducts.com/collections/pre-fit-shotgun-recoil-pads/products/pre-fit-kz-103-recoil-pad https://limbsaver.com/products/airtech-precision-fit-recoil-pad?variant=42672748947 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk #55
General Forum / Re: 20 gauge lead loadLast post by turkeykiller41 - Today at 11:00:15 AMQuote from: patternfreak on Today at 10:13:33 AMQuote from: Gooserbat on February 21, 2026, 01:55:13 PMQuote from: turkeykiller41 on February 21, 2026, 11:49:13 AMQuote from: Gooserbat on February 21, 2026, 09:33:36 AMLead is 11.3 g/cm and tss is 18+ g,/cm depending on the exact alloy composition. In short not much more than the 1 1/4 oz of lead will fit in the shell.If a 1 1/4 oz is all that will fit,how do explain the Windy Hill 1 7/16 oz load and the other guys 1 1/2 oz load of 6s. #56
Turkey Guns / Re: Need help with 835 recoil ...Last post by jerf - Today at 10:47:01 AMQuote from: Borden811 on April 28, 2025, 09:45:42 PMHey guys. Recently ran across a gun I've been looking for forever. Found one of the OG mossberg 835s with the 24" barrel, skinny round ribbed forearm, and the realtree brown leaf camo. Does anyone have any idea what aftermarket recoil pad fits it(preferably a Simms of some variety). I bought the one listed for the 835 on Simms website, but the holes don't line up, and the pad itself is quite a bit larger than the stock. I'm guessing the early synthetic stocks were a smaller size than the current 835s. Anyone have any experience with this, or any helpful info?Did you by chance get this gun at Elk County ammo? #58
Turkey Calls / Re: 2 calls to the woodsLast post by Dukejb - Today at 10:42:57 AMFor me it would be a Buice Osage trumpet and a Lonnie Mabry walnut slate call with a yellowheart striker.

General Forum / Re: Banded birdsLast post by Treerooster - Today at 10:29:55 AMBands are way cool in my world. Any banded bird is way way cool. Bands can tell some neat stories.
Congrats on getting a banded turkey, a rare bird indeed. Now the question...you know there are other banded gobblers in your area. Will you hold off killing a gobbler if you see he isn't banded? |
