The Boy Strikes Again!

[petey]

My 9 year old killed this bird on Saturday. We had 8 jakes in front of us and the best we could do was 45 yards on account of the full strutting decoy I had set up. They wanted nothing to do with that.

I recently purchased an Indian Creek, Black Diamond Strike choke (NWTF world champion still target record holder for the last 3, heck maybe 5 years) and it was worth every penny. (like $90 after shipping!) His Bantam 20 gauge patterned better than my 12 gauge at 40 yards! Well better until I decided to get a new choke for my own after I saw what his did. 48 BB's in a 8" plate at 40 yards.

Anyhow, I'd rather have them much closer but I knew his gun could do it, and 1 1/4" oz of #6's at 45 yards and this bird didn't know what hit him. Rack another one up, now out to get my daughter one.

I can't tell you how many birds we had at 40 yards last year and I would not let him shoot b/c the factory chokes just wouldn't pattern. Heck why should it....it's a 20 gauge! Unbelievable what the can do now a days, making 20's shoot just as good as 12's. I'd recommend this choke to anyone...save your money on buying 2 or 3 $30 chokes and buy an Indian creek...they'll stretch your barrel IF you ever need to use it, plus make your pattern more uniform at those closer distances.
