Turkey Shell's different ones ..

[Greg Massey]

How many of you carry different turkey shell's with you hunting? Like say your hunting woods and most shots have got to be close, do you feel the need to shoot a high dollar shell or one of the cheaper shell's that will get the job done. Also what about field hunting, i want the best shell's in my gun that day .. I think you need to set your gun up for more than one shell..your opinions please...It's like wood's maybe you want a good 2 oz. number 5 for that day hunt to help with cutting throw those small sapling you didn't see...

Switched to Winchester XR's last year. Those are the only shells I carry in my vest after patterning them. Some shells shoot to a different point of aim, also they pattern differently out of different chokes. I stick with one choke and shell.

i carry 2 different shells, and 2 different chokes.

I hunt alot of fields and even before I fell in love with my Encore setup have always used the same shells when loading and not mix and matching. That's the reason I've patterned so much to find the combo (choke/shell)that works best for me and the way I hunt. I rarely shoot over 20yds but if need be 40yds is no problem.

X2!!

One Shell, One Gun, Done

Kill them birds up close at 15-17 yards, can't even think of the last bird I killed over 20. The gun will kill at the 40 but just not my thing...

I carry different loads. I don't see shooting a hevi load theat cost $5 when a Winchester supreme will more than do the job in the woods. I know my gun and how it'll pattern the shells.

I normally put the high dollar in 1st then some lower priced backups.

I have a 3" 1-5/8 oz 20 ga tss in the pipe and chase it with 2 #7 hvy weights for back up.

[wvmntnhick]

Until I get the 20 loaded with TSS, I'll continue to use either the 12 with a 2 oz load of TSS or a 20 ga with Federal HW 7's. Not bouncing different shells in the same gun. One gun, one choke, one shell. Game over.

I hope you are kidding

Shells would be the absolutel last place to skimp. It's like skimping on broadheads for bow hunting. Your shell ultimately does the killing. For all the time and other money tied up in turkey hunting, I could not imagine worrying about the difference in a two dollar shell and a four dollar shell.

One gun, one type shell.

Like others have mentioned I believe simplicity is the best route! 1 shell, 1 choke, now finding that combo can get pricey.

I found for my last gun 3" magna blend 2oz 5,6,7 to be my shell. Now I have a new gun and the work begins! I don't pull the trigger much unless it's a good bird that being said a 5.00 shell is worth it to me. I don't even reuse a 20.00 arrow on another good buck! Hope this can help you.
