RE: turkey gun question
I agree with most of the replies here. I've turkey hunted with gun with 21", 23", 24",26" and28" barrels and they all worked fine. Just be sure find a good turkey tubeand take the time to work a patternfor it. Try several different brands, shot, shot size and powder loads.Don't think that because something worked well in your buddy’s gun will work the same out of yours. Even if it's the same gun, choke and load, they allspit them a little different.Don't get me wrong, asking what someone uses with the same choke/gunyou have is OK and can be a great way to narrow things down but it should never be, "it's good enough". Always check your gun to seehow your choke & turkey load is throwing things.
I forget who posted it but they said adjustable sights and not important. I don't agree 100% with that one. If you got a gun with achoke &turkey load worked up and it'****ting perfect, than he's correct thatyou don't need an adjustable sights but I find that hard to believe. I've been turkey hunting almost 20 years now and out of the 6 different turkey guns I've owned over the years, not one of them was dead nuts. I'm sure a lot of guys will swear that their does and it might butonly one of my turkey hunting buddies I hunted withall those years& in 6 states, had a gun that was spitting adead nut pattern.
When I first started they didn't have the affordable add on adjustable sights they have now. So I was forced due to my lack of money to use the ole Kentucky windage on my gun and I made the best of it. If you need and can afford an adjustable sight, I'd say get it. There's nothing worst than having a gobbler come ingetting your blood pumping,your heart pounding and all excited only to miss him because you forgot to hold high left.
