RE: What kind of sights do you use?
I hadda scope a few years back as the ole eyesight got so poor I could not see the back ramps of my trueglow sights.....
But am very glad I did. Nikon Monarch Turkey Pro Matte Finish on a Matte finish 11-87 - had the scope on now for 5 years - beat the ever luvin' crap outa of it and it is spot on everytime I check...
WhichI will be doing again soon....always check!

I hunt Spring Gobblers with my A-bolt Browning and a 1X4 Leupold scope which doubles for my deer slug gun by changing chokes.
The eye relief is such I am somewhat limited to the 1X when shooting from my normal setting/calling position. To use the 2-3-4 power requires head movement closer to the scope.
I have harvested several Spring gobblers using this gun over the last 12 years including three last Spring...2 in PA. and I have not lost a bird due to the scope or a missed shot.
The scope gives a clear view of the turkey/beard length, has enough field of view at 1X so I can can be certain my pattern will not hit another bird standing nearby and gives my senior eyes a good clear sight picture.
I have harvested several Spring Gobblers over many years using different shotguns with the normal shotgun sights. It is more important to pattern you gun with what ever sight you choose and aim as it works on paper. [align=left] [/align]

Ok, so some call them beads. I prefer to call them balls and my 12ga 870 has them, the front one is painted bright white, since it has yellowed with age, lol kind of like me.[&:]

i use the fiber optics on my Mossberg 835. But in the latest Cabelas Spring Turkey Edition, i saw some sights called "Sight Science Turkey Buster" sights. I might try these out.
