The TSS has made the 60+ yard turkey killing pattern perfectly possible.


Winchester Longbeards in a proper choked 3" 12 gauge will give my 10 gauge a run for it's money and in the right gun will outshoot my 10, easily.

I don't understand the draw to longer range turkey hunting, takes most if not all of the fun out of it.

The older I get and the more turkeys I kill the less "long range" turkey shooting I do. Give me a bird at 20-30 yards and I am content.

If you can't kill a turkey at 40 yards with a dose of #4s, 5s or 6s with a regular full choke something is bad wrong. Even a 20 gauge with a 3" load of copper plated #6s is 40 yard gun.

Hunt the timber I hunt and you can't even see a 40 yard bird.


The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
