In the realm of shotgun enhancements, Kick's Chokes stand as a testament to precision engineering and innovative design. At its core, the Gobblin' Thunder choke from Kick's features an ingenious conical parallel structure. This unique configuration combines a conventional cone of constriction with an uncommon 1-inch parallel section where the constriction remains constant. Such meticulous craftsmanship ensures that your shot patterns remain uncompromised by wad interference.
The brilliance of Kick's lies not only in their structural design but also in their exclusive directional diagonal ports. These ports are angled at 135 degrees away from the shooter, effectively reducing side blast—a significant advantage in close quarters like duck blinds or trap fields. The outward angle creates a sharp forward inside edge that expertly stabilizes and slows the wad for quicker separation from the shot column, delivering cleaner and more consistent patterns.
The external ported portion extends approximately 1¾ inches beyond the muzzle yet remains unobtrusive during shooting sessions. Additionally, these diagonal ports significantly reduce muzzle jump and recoil, allowing for faster and more precise follow-up shots—an invaluable feature for any serious marksman.
Kick's Gobblin' Thunder has proven its mettle on numerous occasions; it is a two-time winner at both the NWTF Still Target Shoot in Atlanta, GA, and the NWTF Ladies Open Competition. Moreover, it was honored as a victor at Jakes competition back in '98. Beyond accolades on paper targets, this remarkable choke has demonstrated success across many grand slam hunts.
For those looking to transform their standard 10 or 12-gauge factory-threaded barrels into specialized turkey hunting machines without sacrificing versatility or reliability, Gobblin' Thunder offers unparalleled performance enhancement with ease of installation—all while keeping your shooting experience cleanly efficient thanks to non-fouling port designs.
