For your smooth bore shooting shot for squirrel and such. Do you just learn to aim high or low or do you have a front and rear sight? I have mine shooting about 30% of the pattern above poa and 70% below poa.
Thanks

That's what I thought.Pattern your gun on paper and you'll know where to aim. you'll just have to adjust your aiming point to the pattern.
I'm shooting a fusil. 20 ga.That's what I thought.
So call them into less than 30 yards.I'm shooting a fusil. 20 ga.
I mainly just squirrel hunt. Would love to get a turkey with it but my pattern is not a 30 yard bug bird pattern. It is j I g choked but still 30 even o. Squirrel I'm not sure. Still looking for the load it likes.
I can't seem to gettm in anymore. Called 2 into about 35 first 3 to4 yrs.Not works anymore.. Have had 2 shot out from under me as they were heading to me.Ive called in a few yokes deer with compound and stick bow. NO turkeys.So call them into less than 30 yards.
Try heavier shot and the Skychief load.
For turkey I load 70/75 grains of 3f or 2f and 1 1/4 ounce #5 shot loaded Skychief style.
I use only original SxSs to turkey hunt with, none of them have chokes so I keep my shot at 20 yds or under. hunting with a muzzleloader will make you a better hunter.I'm shooting a fusil. 20 ga.

Aha!! So that's how it's done....then theres the old file the muzzle trick
I do ok on deer and other stuff. I just can't figure where the birds go at different times of day. And all I can do is yelp and purr. Can't get the other sounds to come out right. Not to mention every hunter for 60 mile radius must go where I do.I use only original SxSs to turkey hunt with, none of them have chokes so I keep my shot at 20 yds or under. hunting with a muzzleloader will make you a better hunter.

most people over call, just a few calls will interest a turkey, more makes them nervous.I do ok on deer and other stuff. I just can't figure where the birds go at different times of day.

Thankyou. For some reason I think I've read about the above percentage. ThanksI use mostly a 12 gauge and shoot birds - I'm not a squirrel hunter so take what I am going to say with a grain of salt. I like my pattern to be 60 to 70 percent above my point of aim which is at the bottom of the bird as the bird is mostly flying up from the ground.
