Davejohn90 · 08-26-2012, 05:08 AM

I'm new to the world of turkey shoots. Basicly all I know about the particular match I play in now is this.
1. .68 is minimum alowed choke.
2. 38 inch barrel is max
3. Target is 90 feet away
4. Only 12 gauges alowed.

Any tips or secret you guys can help me with.
Also I am on a budjet whats my best option for a good gun/choke combo

Turkey shoots can be a blast with the right setup. The choke size will be a .680 which is what a 20 gauge shell is. So if a 20 gauge shell will fit you are fine. A lot of people use H&R single shots. I a H&R and an Remington 870. These guns really just all depend on what kind money you want to put into them. This is my 870 with a 36" barrel with full sleeve, .730 backbore with straight rifling, 4 wad stoppers, .675 choke, Williams rear and front front glow sight, a match chamber, trigger job down to two pounds and its weighted.
Target shot at 90' with Winchester 8's.
