Tired of all this shell bashing back and forth!

I am sick of the arguing going back and forth between what shell to shoot and why.  Let's see some turkey guns and birds killed with them!  Include the information of your set up.

Here is my current set up.  This will be my 3rd year hunting it and have killed 7 with it to this point, should have had a few more if I had done my part. 

She is a Mossberg 835 with a Star Dot .676.  I have a Simmons Pro-Diamond 4 x 32 mm scope on top.  I am shooting 3.5" 2.25 oz Hevi 6s.  Added the pistol grip this past off season.



First bird for this gun:


First bird from SC killed with this gun (bird shot at 30 yards):


One of the prettiest birds I have ever killed:


My personal best bird and killed it with a good buddy:


A bird from a very exciting hunt (shot him at 12 yards):


Let's see some of yours!

Hope others will post up some pictures and get us in the spirit that we are supposed to be in for the sport we are supposed to love.

I've been looking for a pistol grip for my 835 but I've not had any luck.  Where did you pick that one up? That is exactly what I'm lookin for

870 Super Mag W/Hevishot choke. Not mentioning what shell I use so no one will tell me I'm wrong.

Here is mine. Mossberg 835, topped with a Burris FFIII, and choked with a .670 Truglo SSX. I feed her Hevi-13 3-2-7's.

Here is the end result from that combo.
