Well check another species off the list with grampa’s 870 Wingmaster. Who says you can’t kill a turkey with an old shotgun using a modified barrel and 2 3/4 #5 shells haha. He wasn’t the biggest in the woods or even my target bird but he is my first with a shotgun.

Very nice. Just goes to show that one does not have to have the newest, trendiest, gun and gear to enjoy and get the job done. Congrats Sir.

Nice job bud up


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

I try to take care of it but it is a tool and it gets used a lot. There are some wear marks and whatnot but that’s what it is meant for.
