I got two chokes today from William at SumToy Custom Chokes for my Supernova. One choke is a .650 and the other is .674 and to say I am impressed is a understatement !! For starters the SumToy choke is built VERY well and the patterns will speak for themselves. I shot at 40 & 20 yards using the Hevi-13 3.5" #7's. The .650 preformed just as I had hoped...but the REAL shocker is how well the .674 did. Ya'll tell me what you think.

Lookin' good!
:icon_thumright: Dead bird!
Those are some great patterns , I am surprised with the .674 I need to get one of those for my sbe 2!!!
i really like the pattern of that .674, it looks a bit more even than the .650 but both are smoking patterns, i'd go with the .674
everything ive seen from sumtoy has been great, you can tell that he actually patterns his chokes with different loads so when he gives advice on what constriction should work best he is right on
congrats to you for finding the right choke/shell combo and congrats to Will for making a choke that puts up some smoking numbers
impressive!! I like the .674 best.
The .674 is very close to the exit diameter that has worked so well in the Star Dot chokes.....which haven't been made for years now.
Nice patterns!!!
good looking patterns
Which one you like drum??

I like em' both....I'm gonna re-sight my Supernova tomorrow and hunt with the SumToy choke this year. My season opens Saturday morning....I'm still up the air about which one I'll hunt with. I'm kinda leaning toward the .650 because of the bore diameter of the Supernova...but we'll see ;D
Nice numbers. I am happy with the numbers I got out of my SuperMag with #7 HeviShot. Good luck.
Very nice patterns. Step a target out to fifty and see which one starts to one up.
Very Nice
Congrats to Sumtoy!!!! Keep it up!!
Looks great to me. Both are smokin!
Since the Star Dot choke was mentioned here about the exit diameter being about the same, I will pass this on to Sum Toy that the Star Dot for the 835 had a 2.5" parallel. Don't know if that will help you for the 835 chokes you build, but I can only think that the longer parallel in the 835 Star Dot choke had a lot to do with the way it shoots the Hevi-13 loads. Maybe you can put this together in a choke for 835 shooters and say a .670 or .675 exit diameter. :you_rock:
Tim those are awesome!!! Glad you have got those 7s shooting well.
Good going Drum. His chokes seem to do well with several different loads but each has its sweet spot.
He does have different chokes for different guns according totheir needs.
And they are very well built . I hope you do well.
:icon_thumright: Nice!
Looking good. I think I'll have a Sum Toy choke before next year rolls around.
The .650 would probably be great with Lead shells.
Great! That's exactly what I needed...another choke to try out. :D
Guys, I think we finally got a choke maker who is going to really listen to their customers needs and work with us to make some great shooting chokes for the turkey hunter. I like a guy that will come on here and talk with us and show us actual patterns from the chokes that he produces. We can give and get great feedback this way. I think SUMTOY chokes is listening to the customers who buy their chokes, and I wish the company the best. :you_rock:
Great patterns. Can someone post a high res up close pic of the Sumtoy chokes?

That should be on an earlier post on OG.
Sumtoy also has 20 gauge chokes that I am using this year. My chokes are giving very good hunting patterns and in the Brng inv+ using the Federal HW #7s I got a 147 @40 yds and it has the wad catchers and six straight parallel grooves as well. There are reports of high numbers using lead only in the 20.This is working very well with the more flexible 20 ga wad from Federal.
The real keeper this year is the 12 ga. H-13s multi-blend in the 12 gauge chokes made by Sumtoy. Hint - hint- hint.Thye need to keep this shell as is.
