EKYhunter Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I would say go with the 24. If you ever look at the Shotguns and Shooting forum on the NWTF's message board you'll see that many have experimented with long vs. short barrels. Longer barrels tend to pattern better. This has also been my own personal observation as well. I'm sure others will say that choke and load only determine the pattern but I think barrel length does as well. Also, just as a side note, I don't think TC offers the 20" barrel in camo in case you interested. Also, check out the message board at NWTF to see some patterns, loads, and choke combos that others have been using in the Encore. Oh yeah, welcome to the forum!

AJ Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Re: encore turkey barrel 20\"or24\" Hey Coby, another warm welcome to the forums! Great info so far. I too would opt for the longer barrel. You get higher velocity, better patterns, all lead to extend the effective range of your gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
