My personal analogy on setting up a shotgun to turkey hunt is that you turn it more into something like a rifle instead of a shotgun cause in Turkey hunting you actually aim the gun not point it and that choke makes the shot tight. About like shooting a single bullet to an extent.

Most of the shotguns I hunt with get ported and come job. Turkey and deer shotgun also get trigger jobs.

As a kid as soon as I found out about barrel work every turkey gun I had went through the forcing cone work. Never once did the patterns fail to improve. Now it's easy to buy guns w elongated cones n Id not buy a turkey gun without it done already

Forcing cone work is something I'm still not sold on.  I'm sure it doesn't hurt and the theory is sound but if its so great then why don't all guns come with lengthened cones?  They can make them longer at the factory just as easy as they can make them not.  Porting is another can of worms.  I have shot many unported guns and then shot ported of the same gun and have never felt any real difference in recoil.  Not saying it doesn't work, just saying for me that the benefits aren't worth the cost.  If your gun doesn't pattern well enough to kill a bird then cone work probably wont help.  And If you cant take the recoil of your shotgun then porting will only make a real difference in your head.

I'm thinking lending him one might not be a good idea either...I mean, that could ruin a perfectly good gun... :newmascot:
