Frequently Asked Questions

How can I save money when sighting in my turkey shotgun with expensive TSS ammo?

To save money, use less expensive ammunition like duck, skeet, or older turkey loads for the initial sighting process. Once your shotgun is roughly on target, switch to your premium Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) loads for the final micro-adjustments to ensure accuracy without excessive cost.

What is the recommended method for sighting in a turkey gun with premium ammunition?

The recommended method is a two-stage approach. First, use cheaper, readily available ammunition to get the shotgun's point of impact close to the point of aim. Then, employ the expensive Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) loads exclusively for the final, precise micro-adjustments needed for optimal accuracy.

Which Mossberg shotguns are suitable for turkey hunting and sighting in?

The video mentions the Mossberg Silver Reserve over-under shotgun and the Mossberg SA-20 semi-automatic shotgun, particularly models with a pistol grip, as suitable firearms for turkey hunting and the sighting-in process.

Why is it important to use premium ammo like TSS for final adjustments only?

Premium ammunition like Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) is significantly more expensive. Using it only for final micro-adjustments prevents wasting costly shells during the bulk of the sighting process, making the overall task more economical while still achieving necessary accuracy.
