In the realm of shotgun chokes, where precision meets performance, Kick's has set a benchmark with their innovative design. The Gobblin' Thunder choke tube is a testament to their commitment to excellence and ingenuity in firearms technology.
The core of Kick's chokes lies in their conical parallel design—a hallmark feature that distinguishes them from typical options on the market. This unique configuration involves a cone of constriction paired with an approximately one-inch parallel section where the constriction remains constant. Such engineering ensures cleaner shot patterns by allowing faster separation between wad and shot column, unaffected by interference.
Kick's further enhances this design with exclusive directional diagonal ports. These strategically angled at 135 degrees away from the shooter—reduce side blast significantly compared to traditional designs using 90-degree or less angles. As a result, shooters experience reduced muzzle jump and recoil for quicker follow-up shots without sacrificing accuracy or comfort.
The external ported portion extends about 1¾ inches from the muzzle yet remains unobtrusive during shooting sessions—a subtle but crucial advantage when navigating close quarters like duck blinds or trap fields.
This exceptional choke isn't just theoretical prowess; it's proven its mettle in competition too. Gobblin' Thunder boasts accolades as a two-time winner at both the NWTF Still Target Shoot held in Atlanta, GA, and Ladies Open Competition—not forgetting its triumph at the JAKES competition back in '98.
Moreover, these accomplishments extend into practical hunting scenarios across numerous grand slam hunts worldwide—transforming standard factory-threaded barrels of most 10 & 12 gauge shotguns into dedicated turkey-hunting specialists effortlessly.
