Title: What a Day!
Post by: allaboutshooting on December 19, 2014, 07:01:51 PM
I was able to get out to the range today and do some shooting for the "Turkey Choke Evaluation Project" that I've been working on for a while. I'm about 2/3 of the way through.

I still need at least one more good day, and another 36 rounds, to complete the shooting portion.

Frankly, I feel a little beaten-up right now after all of those 3" WLB turkey loads through a variety of guns.

If it's clear and warm tomorrow, I'll go after it again and maybe get all the shooting completed. Then, I have a lot of patterns to evaluate and get the data compiled for the article.

I'll let you all know when I'm through and I hope you find the information helpful.

Thanks,
Clark

Ouch!  I sure hope you are using a Lead Sled or at least some heavy padding on your shoulder.  I know all the OG members here really appreciate all that hard work you do.  Thanks Clark

Can't wait to see it Clark.

Nice days to shoot in December ! Bet you don't miss the 3 feet of snow on your roof there. ;) ;)

Clark, many thanks for doing this evaluation.  There are many of us who are really looking forward to seeing your test data, once you've had enough time to compile it.

I am curious to see how the Longbeards respond to different constrictions and choke designs in the same guns.

I appreciate all the positive feedback. I need another full day with good weather for shooting and then I'll get to work finishing the evaluations and write-ups. That could be as soon as this weekend if the weather cooperates.

Thanks,
Clark

That is certainly a change from SI and I don't miss the snow/ice at all.

Thanks,
Clark
