The B-Mobile line will work just fine for you.

As to shotgun sights.... here is some food for thought. You are going to be sitting in a blind, the inside of which is black. Granted, turkey hunting is not really a low-light sport.... but I had to change bow sights this past fall when I started hunting more and more out of a ground blind because I could not see my pins inside the blind, just for it being so dark. Fiber optic bow sights and fiber optic guns sights work the same way.... so it is something to consider.

I personally have a scope on my turkey gun... 2-7x32... its stays on 2x. I've used red dots before, but I'd never use anything other than a scope or a good set of adjustable FO sights, such as williams sights.

A touch of advice on set ups: I am going to assume you are right handed, but if you are a southpaw... just reverse the directions (make right left) and the same holds true. Assuming you are right handed, it is much much easier for you to point, aim and shoot a shotgun to your lefthand side. Take into consideration where the birds will likely be coming from... especially as that angle pertains to your blind and your decoys. If you put your decoys too far off to the right, the birds will side slip you, and be in a position where you will not be able to swing around to make a shot on them. You can probably rotate and shoot almost 180 degrees, but all of it on your left side.... I like to have my decoys set up almost right off my left shoulder... that way if the birds do come in from the right, I can shoot straight in front of me... it cover the field of fire so to speak.... lessons learned the hard way!

Where are you located at bigtimer?
