The Roaring 20's 20's are rarin' to get roarin'
« on: January 04, 2017, 12:05:17 PM »
Well alrighty then.

That time of year is upon us again to begin organizing turkey teams and The Roaring 20's are ready for the game! We enjoyed a great season last year and eagerly look forward to another one. We will be making some changes to the team roster listing, but will certainly retain the basic requirement of hunkering behind our lethal 20 gauge shotguns when Senor Pavo comes stomping in to announce his presence with authority.

Every year we see more and more die-hard turkey hunters making the studied and confident shift to the proven killing machine that is the 20 gauge shotgun. Lighter, easier on the shoulder, more maneuverable, with a wide range of turkey choke constrictions and a broadening array of shell options that all add up to that one moment we all love to see (and one that we see very often): a cloud of feathers drifting down onto a black lump slowly pedaling a missing tricycle. 

Good luck to all teams and hunt safely.

Hey guys I just wanted to say I'm happy to be on the team this season and ready to rock and roll! I have a few different hunts lined up this spring and hope I can make a solid contribution!

Hey y'all, I currently hunt with a m2 20 ga but I'm hopping on the 870 youth train. Got my gun the other day to start my build but I'm stuck between a Jebs or sumtoy choke. I plan to shoot fed HWT 7 flitecontrol and next year experimenting with TSS. What would be a good choke for both?

Hmmm, that's starting to get mighty smal------CERTAINLY YOU CAN JOIN!

We have had other team mates in past years who have carried their understanding of the potency of the smaller gauges to a highly refined surgical point. The 28 gauge still throws the same sized shot at the same velocity as a 3.5" 10 gauge shell.

funny you mention that.  you can't imagine the arguments I've gotten in over using a .410 in the waterfowl world.  those guys just can't comprehend a pellet @ X speed is the same out of all guns.  Payload and shot string are the differences.

Anyway, I've killed my slam with a 20ga.  I want to try and do it with a 28ga now.

Gentlemen,

I am proud to announce that the 2017 Roaring 20's team is now filled. I believe that we now have the strongest and most diverse group of skilled turkey hunters that we have ever assembled.

Come on opening day!

Fullchoke thanks for the invite to join the team. This will be my third year using a 20 gauge. I love the light weight and low recoil and that the birds never even flop! I hunt most every day of our MS. season, so I hope I can help the team out. Again thanks for having me on the Roaring 20's!
