Gun, shells and calls

ruination

Running a 12 gauge Tristar Viper G2 - placed a 1x PA microprism on this year, the burst front the red dot kept growing on the FF3.  Was a bummer not really seeing the target behind the gun.  Will shoot some 2oz overkill loads...maybe some over kill 2 3/4 inch loads if I am feeling spicy.

My bad luck gun is a 301 .410 with a romeo 5.  That for some reason does not burst as bad as the ff3.  But unfortunately the gun is bad luck and turkeys always walk away from it...or I don't shoot them in range.  really, just a terrible gun.

Gooserbat Bacon has been money for me last few years.  I'll start with that and a Crystal Mistress for sure. 

I am excited to try out my new tetras in the turkey woods, also.


I need a break from work so I am taking ample time. Hopefully I can get lucky at least once.



Good luck to everyone!

I shoot hand loads. Hal TSS and a lead pheasant load
Calls I will be using opening day will probably be Buice 5.5 ironwood and a Cody WC slate

That gun sounds like a sweet set up. I really like some of the o/u setups I've seen

Here is a pic of it and the youth 20 with pretty much same setup

Yes. Left is Yildiz 28ga. I don't think they do a youth 28. I did have about an inch and a half cut off the stock though
Right is Yildiz youth 20
