In the realm of shotgun chokes, where precision and performance are paramount, Kick's Chokes stand as a testament to innovation and engineering excellence. At the heart of their design is a unique conical parallel structure. This ingenious combination features a typical constriction cone paired with an uncommon one-inch parallel section that maintains consistent constriction. Such craftsmanship ensures superior shot patterns by stabilizing and slowing down the wad for quicker separation from the shot column.
The Gobblin' Thunder choke takes this technology further with its exclusive directional diagonal ports. These outward-angled ports create a sharp forward inside edge that enhances stability while reducing muzzle jump and recoil—a boon for faster, more accurate follow-up shots. The external ported portion extends approximately 1¾ inches from the muzzle but remains unobtrusive during shooting.
A standout feature is its directional porting at 135 degrees away from the shooter, minimizing side blast commonly found in lesser designs with angles of 90 degrees or less. This attribute makes it particularly advantageous in close-quarter situations like duck blinds, trap fields, and five-stand environments.
Notably resilient against fouling, these ports maintain clarity even after extensive use—an essential quality for serious shooters who demand reliability under all conditions.
The Gobblin' Thunder has proven itself time and again on competitive stages—twice clinching victories at both the NWTF Still Target Shoot in Atlanta, GA., as well as triumphs in other prestigious contests such as the NWTF Ladies Open Competition and Jakes competition in '98.
This choke transforms most factory-threaded barrels of 10 & 12 gauge shotguns into formidable turkey hunting tools without sacrificing versatility or ease of use—a true game-changer for any dedicated hunter looking to elevate their field experience to new heights.
