  11. Re: Suggestions Please!! Choke,load help Benelli Nova I've shot over 20 gobblers with mine including a slam,won several stilltarget shoots and never saw anything run away from this rattle(?) which i tighten up with a metric allen wrench.Maybe you just want another gun?Hmmm? wonder if the "Queen" would fall for that?You may be on to something.
  12. Re: Suggestions Please!! Choke,load help Benelli Nova if i remember correctly,a 3mm allen wrench takes care of this problem
  13. Re: Waddell\'s Diaphram Call Case I have the primos case and it works great!
  14. Re: Suggestions Please!! Choke,load help Benelli Nova owned a nova since they first came out.polish the barrel,smooth up the trigger,buy a comp-n-choke .655, win hi velocity 6's or 5's kick's .670 for hevi 13 or jelly head.655.terror.640 hevi shot.my nova will shoot federal flight control's but really likes win hi velocity or hevi 13.

  16. Re: Kicks Choke Tubes?? Great company to do business with.if you don't like your results talk to charlie,he'll build you another choke.in my experience,the brand of shell needs to fit your gun as well as your choke.my benelli nova likes hevi-shot and win hi velocity,hates remington,so-so federal.i shoot both comp-n-choke and kick's
  17. Re: New for the contest this year... i vote for moon's idea,lots of no shows each year

  21. Re: Realtree Turkey Team #18 well saturday morning looked really good to start out.i knew where four long beards were fighting for dominance(thursday noon work start).got in early set up on the route ,had long beard all the way up draw,80 yds spinning and drumming.all of a sudden,periscope up,snood up,long beard down low around the rocks and gone!what's up?partner move?(no)around the ridge,head'm off.two yelps,just above us,"their call'in right below us".Busted on public land.not only did they not honor our set up,but i lost my spec 1 striker with 15 notches.i'll be there saturday morning looking for that green striker protector,then look for a gobbler.go team
  22. Re: Realtree Turkey Team #18 went out this weekend with first time father and young son.we turkey hunted the right way,and they really got the idea of what its all about.dad got a really nice merriams jake,son was on wrong side of tree unfortunately.i think they will be joining the federation and jr has a jakes membership on the way,courtesy of yours truely.i was hoping for a long beard in front of me,but it felt really good helping these guys start out on the right foot.northern idaho for longbeards this weekend.go team
  23. Re: Realtree Turkey Team #18 congratulations,that sure puts a good bird on the board for us.i got rained out in california mostly or jaked out.barely got back over donner summit.go team
  24. is it illegal(not to mention unethical)to shoot a bird in the roost in your state?
