At end of legal shooting time, this big tom decided to come and show off in front of the truck. I literally was in the truck for 10 minutes getting ready to leave and he showed up with his hen. This video was taken the first week of May. I missed him strutting when first came out into the field, but was able to get him at least once. I apologize for the blurry footage around the edges and the j...

With Long Beard XR, I found that If I kept aiming just a hair lower when I shot farther, it'd kept my patterns right where I wanted them, right on that neck. At 20, I had to aim for the base. That put me dead on every time. Long Beard XR is just such a reliable load. Once you figure out your particular gun's patten, you can count on that all day from Winchester. They really have their quality control down pat.
1:02 I was staring at that ear pro on the table with the widest eyes lol
I can’t get over the picture of the baby on the diaper box getting peppered 🤣 great video 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing very good information. Just great stuff.
Got to respect your wife shooting a 3.5” 💪
put the folded up gun case on your shoulder and get another rest, older I get the more I pad my shoulder .
Use federal tss. They won't kick near as much and they give you an extra 30 yards. They're more expensive but, you only shoot 1 shell a year.
New to your channel but really enjoy your honesty and owning up to what happens! Have you ever considered a Lead sled? I am a big Longbeard XR fan considering what they are capable of at 20% of the price of TSS. Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work!
Mine doesnt shoot half that good. I tried 4’s and 5’s. Your 70 yard pattern looks like my 40 lol kicks .660 choke
That's pretty dam impressing. And I'll say this. It don't matter how big a boy you are, them Winchester turkey loads will hurt your shoulder lol.
Very nice
My shoulder went and got a restraining order on me after I went through 2 boxes of Winchester Long Beard XR while patterning my 12GA Winchester SXP Turkey Hunter.
I recommend showing the results!!!!
@ 20 & 30 yards, basically that bird is almost beheaded 😅. I love 3.5” loads. Been using it since I started chasing those birds. I have always used 3.5” Federal Mag Shock #4 out of beretta spiced with Pattern Master chock, which never disappointed me out to 60 yards plus. I will add these Winchester 3.5s to my Backpack . Thanks for the video 👍
Lead sled is worth the money
This was a perfect video I have the exact same set up and that's what I'm using opening day
Thx for taking the time and money to show us what the XR’s can do
Congrats on making your first video. Great content, right to the point. You explained things clearly and showed the results. That choke tube and ammo combination works amazing! Keep on making more videos.
Lol the change in your voice and face is priceless, I know you was hurting
Wow!! Man i just bought 2 boxes of 3&1/2" #5's. I'm gonna be honest. If i was in a field i would take that 60-70 yrd shot lol. Great video man. Clear and to the point. No stupid music or trying to sell anything. Good honest review I'm glad i bought some xr's. I have every brand you can think of I've accumulated throughout the years. But never tried the xr's. You can bet I'm gonna. I've always loved Winchester shotgun rnds. They hit hard. Good luck!!
For me and the gun I use 30 and 35 are the most comfortable pattern wise with all brands of shells . You're doing a good job and each ammo has its own character that's for sure.
I STARTED DOING PATTERN WORK IN THE 80'S AND HAVE SHOT OVER A 1000 PIECES OF PAPER BURNING UP MANY 100'S OF DOLLARS WORTH OF TURKEY AMMO SINCE THEN USING MANY DIFFERENT CHOKES IN REMINGTON 870, 11-87, 11-87 SUP MAG AND WINCHESTER SX4 3.5 CHAMBER. "ALL SCOPED". "NOTHING" REPLACES EXPERIENCE, "NOTHING" REPLACES "PATTERNING" DIFFERENT CHOKES, DIFFERENT LOADS AT DIFFERENT DISTANCES ALONG WITH ACTUALLY SHOOTING TURKEY'S IN REAL WORLD SITUATIONS. TO DATE THE WIN SX4 WITH CARLSON .665 PORTED AND WINCHESTER XR LB 3.5 #4'S HAS PRODUCED MANY KILLS FOR ME. THE FURTHEST BEING 64 LASER VERIFIED YARDS (DROPPED LIKE A ROCK) WITH MULTIPLES BEING IN THE 50 YARD RANGE (AGAIN LASER VERIFIED) 1200 FEET PER SEC AT THE MUZZLE #6'S WILL 'RUN OUT OF PENETRATION' AROUND 50-55 YARDS. 5'S OR 4'S ARE GOOD FOR 65 YARDS, MAYBE 70 YDS WITH 4'S. (IF YOU CAN GET 5 TO 8 IN HEAD NECK) CONCLUSION: "PATTERING IS A MUST", SCOPES OR RED DOTS "ARE A MUST" ESPECIALLY WHEN CHOKING DOWN TIGHT AND SHOOTING MORE THAN 40YDS, CARSON CHOKES AND WINCHESTER XR LB SHOT SHELLS "ARE BY FAR" THE "BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK" WHEN IT COMES TO TURKEY HUNTING!!!!!!!! TO DATE NO GUN I HAVE HAS PUT MORE PELLETS IN THE 10" CIRCLE AT 60 YARDS (NO TSS SHELLS, WINCHESTER XR LB ONLY) THAN WINCHESTER SX4 3.5 CHAMBER AND .665 CARSON PORTED. A TURKEY KILLED AT 60 YDS WITH A 3 DOLLAR WIN XR SHELL IS "JUST AS DEAD" AS ONE KILLED WITH A 14 DOLLAR TSS SHELL!!!!!! THERE ARE NO VARIABLE DEGREES OF DEAD......DEAD IS DEAD!!!!! LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO MAKE ALL THE MISTAKES YOURSELF......"LEARN FROM OTHERS."
All dead birds , even the 70 looked like 10 to 15 in spine and brain
I like to use ear plugs when bench rest shooting. Muffs get in the way. I'll send you some ammo to test. Send me an email.
I'll give it a go if you have 10 gauge
Winchester Longbeard XR #6 with the corresponding Carlson Longbeard Turkey choke is an effective combination. If time, money and effort are factors, new hunters may want to try this combo first with their gun to verify the pattern. It’s likely to yield good results.
🐻
I have normal food plots in the woods oats wheat late planted beans winter rye in one where all I do is rake it out and on the other half it is brassicas which is 1/2 acre the other plot is whitetail institute clover in a plot thats 20 yard by 25 yards and I use throw in grow got erosion control on a spot 10 yards by 15 yards that was going to be a kill plot pot it's just deer traveling ik deer won't eat this blend unless it's only green they have so I use for erosion
That was a really awesome pattern testing video.
Aprecciate you shooting those 3.5 shells. I’ve never shot them, but I’ve shot 3” and those kick hard, so the 3.5 must be pretty bad. I shoot and 870 myself and have been looking for some good shells to buy. So I appreciate you doing this! Good work! For around around 150 bucks you can buy a led sled from Caldwell. It provides a good rest and takes away the recoil!
This was my first time shooting them lol They definitely thump ya! No problem! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I’ve seen those before, but I always forget to pick one up lol. Thank you for the feed back!
I have a led sled i use for sighting in my rifles, to remove the human factor. But for my shotguns i sit down and rest on my knee, just like when turkey hunting. Youre not gonna tote a led sled turkey hunting. Shooting off a bench like dude did in the video is about the most painful way to shoot a shotgun
Kills on both ends ,did you end up getting a concussion,the look of pain on your face is priceless
Lol yes it does! No I didn’t, but my ears were ringing for the rest of the day. Thanks for watching!
It seems to 3 inch shells do more damage than the 3 1/2. I’m using a Remington 870 with the Carlson long beard choke and I missed a giant opening day I’m not sure what happened I patterned it at 25 and 30 yards and had a really good group but I’m thinking of switching down with a 3 inch
It seems that a lot of the time the 3 inch mags pattern better than the 3.5s, but there are some advantages and disadvantages to both, but if the bird is 45 yards and in you should be good no matter what shell you decide to go with as long as the choke you have is quality. Oh man! I’m sorry to hear that! When they are really close it’s almost like shooting a rifle at those distances! Thank you for watching and your comment!
That 20yrd is always ideal for the field. From 20 to 70 all dead birds. Like your setup
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
I love my 870 turkey gun and you know they kick when they pump there self lol
They are very good shotguns that is for sure! Lol that’s a fact!
Winchester loads the Browning line of shells. I think they are basically Winchester XX. They didn’t look too bad for lead imo
Nice video! Our channels look pretty similar haha I just got the same shell in 6’s I’m going to throw up on CZcams before too long.
Thank you! Yeah a little bit, but you have done way more work than I have lol. I hear ya, I'll check it out!
What constriction is the choke?
.660
Bought few boxes about 2 years ago. They patterned great. Got them out recently and in the same gun & choke it didn’t pattern worth anything.
Some great patterns. That choke and ammo are a deadly combo. Thanks for taking the abuse and posting the results.
Yes sir they are. lol no problem my shoulder was pretty sore the next day! Thanks for watching!
You need to shoulder that weapon a little tighter solider!!!
Pretty nice, those 3.5s will beat you up. 🦃
Yes they will lol
Those dam turkey loads are annoying to shoot aren't they? I sighted in my red dot the other day and 7 shots was about all I really cared for. Lol. Yeah I went with a burris fastfire 3 on my turkey gun a few years back and I just love being able to lay that pattern right were I want it! Thanks for taking the time to do the video!
What loads are you using?
@@Datsyukiandeke winchester longbeards 3 1/2 in 2oz loads
They can be a pain from time to time lol. A red dot definitely makes a difference! Thank you for watching! Good luck this 🦃 season!
hardly anyone makes a video of turkey kill energy at the longer ranges. Why? What energy do you need to kill a turkey at the longer ranges? How far can you shoot with enough energy to kill a turkey ethically. It's very clear that this gun, choke and XR ammo can go the distance to 70 yards easy. But does it have enough energy to kill the turkey at that distance? What is the maximum energy wise that the load can produce at those ranges. Does it have enough energy to kill a turkey at 100 yards lets say if you could make that shot? This is what you need to know to make ethical shots at longer ranges. A 70 yard shot is not an unethical shot if you have the conditions, know how to aim and know what your gun, choke and load can do at that range. It may be unethical for you but not for someone else. Just because you can't make that shot doesn't mean it's unethical for everyone. 50 yards used to be called an unethical shot at one time. At the longer ranges chokes are critical to pick the right one for your gun. I have XR chokes for all my shotguns for turkeys. They work great in all of them. Remmington 870, 1187, 12ga., 20ga., Tristar 12ga. and 20ga. I saw a first time turkey hunter using my Remmington 1187 premier 12ga with XR choke, 3", #6 loads kill a turkey at 60 yards with one shot. I told him where to aim at the turkey and to keep his head down on the sights and he did just that. With more experience 70 yards will not be out of the question. To make a shot like that you must know what your gun setup can do at any range, have the right situation in the woods or field meaning the space to shoot without obstructions, the right weather conditions, consider the wind if any. Anybody can go in the woods and shoot a turkey at 20 yards on private land and be in and out in an hour. I like more a challenge than that. With my gun and setup I aim right at the top of the turkeys scalp at 60 yards dead center in the open hardwoods with almost no wind under the canopy in a low bottom area conditions. It was completely an ethical shot. I would have no problem ethically shooting that same shot and conditions at 70 yards. Beyond 70 yards you would need to shoot at least 2-3 shots for a faster kill. Out in an open field you must consider other things. I have seen hunters shoot 2 and 3 shots at turkeys at 20 yards because they miss or wound the bird. So 2-3 shots at 80 yards is not unethical. beyond that is where I stop. Not much energy after that unless you have a 3 1/2" chamber. A 100 yard shot is not out of the question than if you have the right conditions and the right situation. Long shots beyond 50 yards are very rare in the woods. Early spring, fields and open floor hardwoods are where the long shots come into play on birds that don't want to come in closer for whatever reason. Enjoy the hunt !
I appreciate the video!👍🏼👍🏼
Absolutely! Thank you!
that 60 you shot would kill that bird
thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching
For the price you can’t beat long beard xr
I agree! They definitely hard to beat. Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thank you!
Pretty amazing video for your first!
Thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!
We’ve all been there with the ear pro. 😂 Great video.
🤣 thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Guy you needed to use a seed spreader to properly broadcast the seed out, not the way you did it. You wasted so much of it by not dispersing it evenly. This stuff works well without even raking or mowing or any work really, but with any seed it helps to make direct contact with the soil itself rather than laying on a bed of grass and weeds. You could have gotten much better and more of a bigger and even patch of growth by throwing it upwards and letting it fan out onto the ground.
Thanks big guy! And thanks for watching!
