Love aftermarket chokes. Have you guys seen their ad-vertisments? Pretty sharp.

I think you mean shouldn't. It's marked not to but, I can tell you it handled it just fine in my sisters Nova. Seemed like when she hit birds she would tear them up, so I checked it for her. She had been shooting that choke for at least 3 seasons, maybe 4. It came out no problem and it doesn't have a scratch or crack in it.

Damn, I must be a piss poor gear queer, 'cause the shades I wear most are the $8 Dollar Store specials that keep all the crap flying over the airboat's grass rake out of my eyes.

that's what i meant with my post, i was just joking though.



as i recall, my gun manual said don't shoot steel through the full choke also, but i did and never had a problem. the choke did eventually wear out but i think it would have regardless.

In my opinion and experience, Costa Del Mar sunglasses are superior to most less expensive brands. I buy mine on eBay and usually get deep discounts.

Honestly it's like an expensive fishing rod and a cheap fishing rod. They both do the job but the expensive ones are more comfortable, work a little better, and last longer as long as you don't lose them in the river.

A dozen full body mallard field decoys, half a dozen floater snow goose decoys, half a dozen floater speck decoys and a dozen honker floaters for my dad for Christmas.

Plus the more expensive things in life have usually a few more smaller parts, so it takes the little kids in the factories over seas longer to put it together.
