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..
