  1. I would like to get a pair of 10x42 binoculars for the upcoming turkey season. Don't have a lot of money to spend though. What's the best binocular for the money?
  2. A friend of mine got me some Winchester Extended Range shells for a Christmas gift (3 1/2'' #6). He claims they shoot better with a stock choke than a tighter after-market choke. I shoot a Mossberg 835. I have several chokes, everything from a .670 to a .695. Does anybody have any experience with these shells?
  3. So...what's the difference between a 50 gr. Triple 7 pellet and a 50 gr. Triple 7 Magnum pellet?
  4. Unlike many in this forum, these shells did not perform well in my Mossberg 835. I tried them (3 1/2" #5&6's) with 2 chokes (C-N-C XXX Full and a Trulock .680). I'll try again with different chokes another time.
  5. Re: Florida Osceola Turkey Hunt! What part of the state is ol' Ratso located in? I have a brother in Florida. Sounds like a lot of fun!
  6. Re: Gobble Stopper and Comp n Choke Strut...I've been putting off using the Xtended Range shells with my Comp-N-Choke thinking it might do damage like the Hevi-Shot. So, these are safe to use??
  7. Do you have to use the special anti-seize lube on your chokes and breech plugs or can you use other anti-seize like the Loctite Silver Grade Anti-Seize?
  8. Re: choke question I'd go with the #6's....especially if you shoot a 3 1/2" shell.
  9. Re: What\'s The Better Vest? SUPER ELITE!!!
  10. Re: Revenge I tell ya!!! Definitely NOT the gun!
  11. Re: Eye glass wearer question? I bought a small bottle of greenish paste from a guy set up at my local Wal-Mart a couple of years ago. It works pretty good. It's called World Optical Anti-Fog. www.world-opticalproducts.com
  12. I've been shooting the T/C Shockwaves for a couple of years now and recently noticed that some of the plastic sabots are longer than the others. Has anybody else noticed this? Will these group different than the shorter ones?
  13. Has anybody tried these new sabots? Do they group the same as the regular Shockwaves?
  14. Re: peanut butter!! I've tried the peanut butter but around where I hunt the coons and squirrels seem to consume the most. I have to go with JIF as it is made just up the road in Lexington, KY.
  15. Re: 2nd KY gobbler: tagged out Congrats LimbHanger! I'm also a KY hunter who tagged out! Saturday morning shot a 20 lb. tom with 10" beard and 1" spurs at 10 yds. Sunday morning shot a 21 lb. tom with 9" beard and 1" spurs at 45 yds! Great feeling, isn't it?!
