I really only send calls into Nashville this is the 1st time I've placed but only the 2nd time I've sent in a trumpet. I've only been building them for a bout 2 years I was mainly a pot call guy.

Congrats Ben your trumpet must have been a good one. I got 7th in amateur trumpets and I for sure thought mine was a good one!

Thanks man it was stiff competition. I was glad to see Randy Wilson and Richard Lewis on there too they both make great calls and are good friends of mine. I placed 7th as well in the open jordan cat with an african blackwood call.

Good deal. I follow along with everyone in the call making competitions and it took me several years to place at anything and this year and last have finally had some success. Glad to see you win something.

Turkey Guns / M3020

Last post by cwhitfield96 - February 12, 2026, 07:22:15 PM

Did you clean the barrel and choke between shots?  Also, you will see count differences shot to shot on paper, so before the cost increases, a 3 shot average was the best tell. Also, the factory choke in my 3020 was outstanding, but may not be the case for all.

I cleaned the barrel before going to shoot but shot the longbeard first to foul it back up some. I don't clean the barrel often on turkey guns. I was not super impressed the the factory choke with the 9's. I know there will be difference between shots but that seemed pretty drastic to me. Just wondering what others have experienced.

So I started with stock choke then got an anaconda .570 and then a trulock .575.

Just shot it today, first shot with the trulock was incredible. Second shot was certainly killable but nowhere near as good of pattern. I'm shooting apex 9s and shot a lbxr 6 before the two apex shots.

Anyone have experience with something similar and determine a reason? Don't want to keep shooting shells at the price they are.
