The art of shotgun performance is elevated with Kick's Gobblin' Thunder choke, a masterpiece in design and functionality. At its core lies a conical parallel structure—a unique combination that sets it apart from the mundane offerings found elsewhere. This innovative architecture features a typical cone of constriction combined with an exceptional 1-inch parallel section where the constriction remains constant, ensuring consistent shot patterns.
What truly distinguishes this choke is Kick’s exclusive directional diagonal ports. These are not your average ports; their outward angle creates an acute forward inside edge designed to grip, stabilize, and decelerate the wad efficiently. The result? A faster separation between wad and shot column leading to cleaner patterns unaffected by the interference of wads.
Beyond pattern improvement, these diagonal ports serve another crucial function—they mitigate muzzle jump and recoil significantly. For those who require swift follow-up shots without sacrificing accuracy, such as in duck blinds or trap fields, this feature becomes indispensable.
The external ported portion extends approximately 1¾ inches from the muzzle but remains unobtrusive during shooting sessions. Moreover, at an angle of 135 degrees away from the shooter—far superior to traditional designs—the directional ports reduce side blast effectively while keeping themselves clean and free from fouling.
A testament to its prowess on the field, Kick's Gobblin’ Thunder has clinched victory twice at both NWTF still target shoots in Atlanta GA and Ladies Open Competitions—not forgetting its triumph in '98 Jakes competition. It has also been instrumental in numerous grand slam hunts nationwide.
This versatile tool transforms most factory-threaded 10 & 12 gauge barrels into specialized turkey hunting machines without compromising their original bird gun capabilities. In essence, if you're seeking precision coupled with power for your next hunt or shoot-off event—look no further than Kick's Gobblin' Thunder choke.
