Answer 1

I use an "extra full" turkey choke from H.S. STRUT.

It works awesome. I have it in my Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag. They make them for all kinds of shotguns. You should check them out.

Answer 2

If you are really into turkey hunting, get a turkey specific choke tube. They are beyond full and really do a number on the turks head. But if you are not really into it and just going on a turkey hunt every couple of hunting seasons, then just shoot a full. Here is a website with turkey specific tubes and just google turkey choke tubes to see a bunch of different ones out there.

Answer 3

Well it depends on the range on the bird but to answer your question the full choke is most commonly used for turkey hunting because you want to contain the pellets to the head and neck area and it allows you more range to shoot.

Answer 4

Full or extra full, and they make them even tighter, and the tighter the longer shots. I wouldnt use anything over a full choke on flying birds. Turkey is different because you shoot them on the ground, not flying.

Answer 5

being a Ohio turkey hunter the tighter your pattern the better go to your local gun dealer ask for a turkey choke tube. i would suggest the brand name M.A.D that's what i have in my Remington Sp 10 gage and i wouldn't trade it for a thousand others hope this helps you

Answer 6

full, but they make turkey chokes that are specifically for turkey hunting

Answer 7

I'd go with the full for more "power" in the punch (and less
bbs in the teeth)

Answer 8

FULL.*
