2 oz of #10 shot at 540fps?

I went to the local club just three miles up the road and they shoot Wagners, both the skeet 1 1/4 oz 9s and the 2-2-10s. We all remember going to the local fair and there was that Thompson air powered BB gun and you had to shoot the star out to win. Even with a lot of BBs, the paper folded back and there would always be a little bit of the star left.

Same principle with the 2-2-10. Thus the mention of blowing holes, so they shoot at a fairly big red dot and if any of it is left you are out. It comes down to shoot offs until a winner is declared. They go through two to three cases a night so the Wagners will stay in business a long time. Shooters from NY, PA, etc. are traveling down here for the shoots according to the president of the club. They have a 37" limit on barrels, but nothing on chokes. No Led Sleds allowed, but bipods and sand bags are allowed here.

I went to the "shooting match" as they are now called. I saw some vintage shotguns that had been modified; there was a Remington 31, several 870s, a couple of model 12s, a Montgomery Wards pump, but most were built on the Savage 210 or 212 slug guns. I thought you may be interested in these custom "shotguns."

Of the four targets pictured, only one cut out the little red dot. It is more difficult than one would think with two ounces of shot. The dot is not very big, but if only a little piece is left, the target is eliminated. This week 2-2-10s, next week 1 1/4 9s. Different guns with different chokes next week.

This seems like drag racing for shotguns! Those are some "tricked-out" guns.

Here’s a long two part video on making chokes for Turkey shoot guns. Funny the machinist says he’s showing methods not revealing any constriction secrets. Very secretive shooters.

Not like any chokes we see. End of video 2 @ 30 minutes shows the finished gun and choke set up..
