 Pretty cool. How much shot does it hold and how big is it?

   Thanks, Tim

Tim, The horn holds a little over a pound of shot, it is 1 7/8" dia at the base and 7" outer curve.
I have not decided yet if it will be a pocket horn or a hanging set up? Any suggestions?

Very nice! A pound of shot should net you a feast of fowl before you have to head back to camp for more. Just curious, but what size shot will be filling that horn?

I have a mix of half pound of 4s and 7s in the horn.

Nice piece of gear, Kevin.  Just an FYI...Graf and Sons has copper plated shot in 10 pound bags in stock.  I just got a bag of #5, but they had most common turkey sizes as well. I’m about a week away from starting the load work up on my new turkey gun.
