Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

I've been using federal Heavyweight for two years now and it's pretty impressive. I went from 5 to 7 because 7 shoots has the same kinetic energy as a 5. Great stuff, but I can promise you'll fill it after a couple of shots. I'm shooting 3.5 inch magnums #7's out of a Browning Gold.

I've shot the Fed heavy weight #6's out of a rem 870 and a mossberg 835. I shot them out of the rem using a jellyhead, hastings, rhino, and puregold chokes and they all patterned pretty good but not as good as the win xtended range #6's. The mossberg shot the win better as well.
