Quick Answer
When handling TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) turkey loads, wear protective gear, including shooting glasses, a face mask, and gloves to prevent injuries from shattering shot and possible ricochets. Always follow proper hunting practices and safety protocols.
Handling TSS Loads Safely
When loading your shotgun with TSS turkey loads, it’s essential to handle them with care. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction and keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot. Wear protective gear, such as shooting glasses and a face mask, to prevent injuries from shattering TSS and possible ricochets. Gloves can also help protect your hands from the sharp edges of the shotgun shell.
Using TSS Loads in the Field
When hunting with TSS loads, it’s crucial to maintain a safe distance from your target. TSS loads can penetrate deep into the ground and damage surrounding vegetation. Aim for a kill shot at close range, ideally within 20-25 yards, to minimize the risk of over-penetration. Use a choke that’s suitable for turkey hunting, such as an improved cylinder or modified choke, to ensure the shot pattern remains tight and effective.
Storage and Disposal of TSS Loads
After hunting with TSS loads, store them in a secure location, away from children and pets. Dispose of spent shells properly by taking them to a designated shooting range or a lawfully authorized disposal site. Never attempt to reload or re-use TSS loads, as the risk of damage or malfunction increases significantly. Always follow local regulations and guidelines for handling and disposing of shotgun shells.
