Summary

In this podcast we cover our TSS turkey shell test, where we took a single shotgun/choke setup loaded with three-inch TSS number 7 shot from 10 to 100 yards in 10-yard increments. We get some great data, but the results can’t be considered conclusive. Should we do more testing? Listen in to learn what we learned.

Welcome back everybody to the Vortex Nation podcast and welcome to TSS 10 to 100 where

0:10.9

my Compod right here, Ryan Muckin her and I tackle a scientific experiment, a scientific

0:16.3

as we could make it at this point in time test of some federal TSS loads that we shot

0:22.1

from 10 yards to 100 yards.

0:25.1

It was raining that day.

0:27.1

So it was raining every day we tried this.

0:29.5

In fact, well, excuse me, snowing, we had the experiment, I'll say schedule, then we

0:58.8

I'll take it.

0:59.8

We need the moisture.

1:00.8

We do.

1:01.8

So that's the positive, always a silver lining.

1:17.6

with a spark solar red dot, which I would say, you know, we've talked about it many times,

1:22.6

but if you're going to be attempting to extend your effective range on turkeys, a red
