 Hey guys Titus here and today I'm bringing you a pattern test with Rob Roberts new Raptor series chokes. I'll be using my 20 gauge fronky affinity 3 paired with heavy bismuth. The target I'm using is a 12x18 splatter target which is the same size target that I use when I do the mounted ones. No I'm not going to be able to track the flyers that come out of the shell but I'll get what I want. All shots taken in this video will be from 30 yards. Reason being almost every choke looks pretty good at 20 let's be honest. I'm also not going to be doing 40 yards it's very rare that we're actually shooting ducks at 40 yards and you say yeah I do that quite often well to be honest with you put a mallard silhouette or a target up at 40 yards and step it off you'll be surprised how far that looks it's very rare that we're actually shooting that far. I'm going to be testing all of the chokes of the new Raptor series from Rob Roberts except the turkey choke so I'll be doing the r1 the r2 the r3 the biz and stay till the end for kind of a bonus shot I'm going to actually do one shot with the heavy 12 and the tss choke. Before we get started I just want to say that I did get to meet Rob Roberts at the 2023 delta waterfowl expo and he did a short interview with me on our podcast the nvm show if you haven't watched it go check it out and he explained why he came out with this line of chokes so if you want to find more information out about that why he did this line go to our podcast the nvm show you can find on any platform that does podcast check that out and he'll explain why he did that he's also going to be coming on again very soon after this video to go more in depth and a lot longer podcasts so let's get started all right guys now we're going to go ahead and start out with the biz choke first heavy biz myth three inch sick shot all right now we're going to try the r1 time to try out the r2 all right now we're going to try the r3 last but not least heavy 12 with the tss rob roberts choke this gun shooting high i need to shim this thing maybe that's been my problem this whole time with this gun so this is where you wish you had the big paper because now we're going from an issue of my gun shooting high which i never felt like this 20 gauge did but i was also sitting down in a chair resting on a chair so i don't know if that was fair analogy of this i maybe should have been standing with shooting sticks either way i had a very solid rest and most of my all my hits were high so anyways this was the the biz one choke and i had 106 hits on this 12 by 18 paper again these are the size of the duck targets that i use so same exact size you just don't get to visualize a deal but i'm really thinking i gotta shim my gun so maybe this is a good thing i feel like i shot it right with my 20 gauge but i definitely feel like it could be better and now i'm wondering if i've been over shooting over top the ducks a lot this was the definite the best pellet count at 30 yards i had was with the biz choke now i'm going to show you something here in a second that i felt like looked better it had about six less pellets but i felt like it was a cleaner pattern and now i'm wondering what's up here you know what i mean so i might have to do another video i feel like it's fair just to say this was the first one and just post this one but anyways that's the first shot with the biz choke with the heavy biz this is the second one again i probably shot high but i mean that's a pretty good looking pattern in my opinion especially for this small of a paper at 30 yards but that was like 20 less pellets now we start with the r1 okay now this is the r1 choke but that's a lot more of an open choke at 30 yards so it's not bad for you know and i'll put i'll put up on the screen what this is supposed to be considered this is the r2 chain bad but you can tell again my shot's high okay the next one's kind of almost my favorite looking one but there's not as many pellets in the table this is the r3 and i think this one actually looks really good i feel like that one just looks the best but again with that gun with that load that one just works best you know i don't feel like really a lot of shots high i just feel like it's there but so anyways that's that one and then last but not least this is that heavy 12 and look how tight that is that's crazy that shows how tight that choke is again at 30 yards against high so i guess you know i didn't really get to see what this chokes did per se like that's what i was really here for was the goal but i've never did real much of a pattern testing with this fronky affinity delete three so now i'm like well guess what i gotta go home and shim this gun so i really want i don't mind being like 40 60 high but i do not want to be that high i mean that's that's the majority of the patterns up there so nevertheless i hope you guys enjoyed this video again go check out our podcast um he's been on the podcast rob himself they're at the delta waterfowl event he's gonna be coming on the podcast for a full hour long audio will even be a lot better it wasn't the greatest on that one but i think you'll enjoy the mvm show what goes on there also i will be shimming my gun and if i can before season because the season starts like right around the corner i'm gonna try to get back out here and do one more time and maybe get two or three pieces of 40 by four foot by four foot paper out here just to get the full thing and see if i dial it in a little bit more so anyways hope you guys enjoyed this video um i'm still very happy with the chokes and each choke is for a specific purpose right and like i said the best the most amount on paper was the biz with the heavy bismuth so i think i'm gonna stick with that one i was really happy with the r3 it looked good but that might have just been that one shot so anyways hope you guys enjoyed this video and we'll see you guys on the next one
