well, after MANY years gobbler hunting with lead shot and a bead I've joined the modern era. full on 20ga, red dots and now shooting TSS. I've tried several chokes and 4 different TSS brands and to be honest, you can't not like any of them.

Here in PA we can shoot 2 gobblers in the spring if you purchase a "special spring tag" before the season opens on May 3rd. I am planning on killing a local bird with the 20 gauge & then trying for a mountain bird using the new 12 bore with old school lead. I hope that you are blessed with as many birds that you may harvest this spring!

Nice setup. My first year with the 20 gauge, not going back to the 12.
