Hi Guys,
I think the new Turkey chokes shoot TOO TIGHT for normal ranges. So, I ordered an Indian Creek Predator 710" choke to see if I could increase my Turkey .665" Choke 7"-10" patterns at 20 to 30 yards and still have an effective killing pattern at longer ranges.
When I shot Hevi #4's at 30 yards, the pattern width increased from 9" (.665" Turkey Choke) to a nice 18" with the new .710" Lite Modified choke. Just what I wanted. The surprise came at 50 yards. The Hevi #4's = 162 hits (63%) in 20" circle @ 50 yards. This was a big improvement over my Indian Creek Turkey .665" choke which only produced 133 hits (51%). I know that larger shot sizes need larger choke openings, but I sure did not expect this. I will be doing some more testing but for now I think I have found my new Run & Gun choke.
:fud: :newmascot:

Fine set-up for geese or coyotes...not so much for turkeys.

Keep your shots at 40 or closer and your good. I'd hunt it.
