WOW!!! :drool:
What sight system are you using?

Bushnell Trophy multi-reticle set on the circle/dot plex.  If the turkey is bigger than the circle, he's in range.  I don't EVER change that as it has a tendancy to shift poi a bit high/low, so when I got her sighted in, she got a drop of super glue on the dial.  Inside 20 she had decapitated 2 birds in the last 15 years.  One at 12 yards and the other at about 15 or so that only had a couple little tendons holding the head on.  Quite a few others looked like someone did a peel out on their heads with their car.  :OGturkeyhead: If I can ever find the pics I'll post them up but I fear they got thrown out by the ex GF in a fit of rage...probably over me going hunting.   :z-dizzy:

I,ll be ordering one of those for my 24" gun with ported barrel tommorow. :z-winnersmiley:

That is what I am thinking.. Great pattern!

I have been thinking of trying out one of those chokes in the SBEII. I just didn't want to buy it because of the name on the choke. I have used a few products endorsed buy them and wasn't happy.

It might have the "Bone Collector" logo on it (which I can't stand either btw) but believe me, it's all TroGlo!  I was a bit hesitant to try one at first as well.  Once I got a good look at it and going off my past experience with TruGlo and all the other brands and styles of chokes I have used in the past 30 years, it just made sense to try it out.  Glad I did too as it will probably take the #1 spot on my dedicated turkey 835 if the C.A. I got doesn't shoot as well.

That is one of the most even 10" patterns I have seen.

You are da man!

I guess that may be the next big choke even if they are made in China.  I figured I would say that before someone else did.   :z-winnersmiley:

I believe the Bone Collector choke is made by Truglo.

Well, I'm leaving after church service this Sunday to go up to the farm as our season starts in MO the next day. My bride asked how long I'd be gone...

Which gets all their chokes imported from China...

The only way to make that pattern is to hit the 10 inch circle with a bowling ball..!!!

I get a chance to drop the hammer on a bird with it inside 40 yards and believe me, his head will look like it's been hit with a bowling ball!!   :OGturkeyhead:
