How many keep tinkering after season is over

[Gobble!]

Until last spring yes. I was always trying new shells and chokes but am currently VERY happy with a .675 Indian Creek and 2.5oz of TSS.

My guns are set up to shoot HTL. Like to shoot lead loads through those guns to see if I can find a second or third shell that will pattern well. Sometimes will hit a combination that works and keeps the gun from being a one shell gun. Also can use shells for hunting that would otherwise sit in the cabinet.

yeah finding a good backup shell is nice...especially if you see a nuisance animal and you don't want to burn the #1

Never after season is over...i'm more interested in getting food plots and my hunting ground ready for fall...Now doing the cooler summer days we do a little shooting, fishing and lot's of cold beer drinking...

That box in the middle with Winchester written on it..3" 1 3/4 6's is a turkey killer. Shoots well out of my 870 21" bbl/ Hevi 13 Choke .662. Gun shoots great with Hevi 13 3/2/7's and is a 35yd gun with the lead load. 35 yds in..it will put them down. Has more room for error with the lead. When I guide or take folks not experienced with turkey hunting I will put the Win 6's in the barrel.

Tinker is in my blood on everything, so turkey guns really fill the bill nicely. In the process of setting two up with different sighting systems and another with a different scope. May have to find a different choke or two for my Mossy 500 as well.

I daydream about Tinkering but it's rare I get to

I'm on this train. I tinker but always before the season. There's a whole bunch more (seasons) coming up that need tinkering. By this time of year I'm shooting a bow a bunch normally in prep for fall bow seasons. I never do stop running calls though, I kinda like that

That gun and shell have probably killed more turkeys than any other combination out there.

I woudk agree to that statement.  There's been a bunch of birds due to that.

Always... and this forum doesn't help lol always reading about new shells/chokes.. ordered tss #8 to try from apex... its just fun to shoot and count its a break from the honey do list.

That was me for years just kept trying and spending money. TSS put a very fast stop to that. Well not the spending money part...

Always tinkering with something. With my Nova 12ga I found 6 different solid 40 yrd loads with 2 chokes. 11-87 20ga has 3 solid 40 yrds with 1 choke. Now working on a Win 1300 12ga.
