Light equals recoil. I know a guy who set up a Yildiz 20 O/U and he won’t even shoot it anymore.

His ears can’t handle the recoil eek

They are extremely light. They kick like a sob, but that doesn’t bother me when I’m killing turkeys

I have a FIE 12 O/U that I rigged for a turkey gun years ago. It looks like the one in the pics above. Has fixed chokes , the full is about a extra full and modified is like a improved modified. It will shake the fillings in yer teeth loose with any kind of turkey load . Waaaay too much gun with TSS.

I've heard some stories about the recoil with these. I looked at them for my wife a couple years ago and was told flat out "No" by folks that had them.

If ya'll you goobers didn't think it necessary to put 2 ounces of shot and 50 grains of powder in a damn 20 gauge load, the recoil wouldn't be nearly as bad. Prolly not a bad idea to be locked and ready in case you run into a pissed off grizzly bear in an Alabama or Tennessee national forest though. grin

That’s my thoughts as well, I’ve only used it one season and the 1 5/8 ounce load of 9’s is what I shot and I really don’t see the need for anything more. I have no desire to shoot one past 40 yards and I think this load will get the job done a little farther if I misjudge him.

If you do your part, that load will MASH one at 60 yards.....I promise you that!

I got my first 20ga ever, about 6 months ago...a Stoeger 3020. I've never even shot a 20ga until this past weekend when I finally shot it for the very first time. I had a couple of boxes of bird shot that I picked up a while back, so I shot it a few times, just to make sure it functions.

Now, when I made the decision to switch from 12ga to 20ga, I was a little concerned because there was something really satisfying about the major *thud* from that 12ga when you pop a turkey in the face with it, and I was afraid the little 20 might not be as satisfying, because it would presumably have noticeably less recoil.

Again, I've never even shot a 20ga until this weekend.......well that Remington Heavy Dove birdshot kicked a bit more than I anticipated, so I can only imagine what awaits when I start patterning the TSS I picked up a while back.

Let's just say, I think this one will be equally satisfying as those 12ga Longbeards, if not more so.

410 sxs. Vortex venom. Shoots the apex 9.5 really well.

Will had a sight put on a Stevens 311. Has a full barrel and a mod barrel. 2 3/4” gun. Shoots the apex 8s. Need to do a little filing to get the barrels shoot to the same poi
