with the special FLITECONTROL wad in the black cloud shell, you dont want a restricive choke that reduces muzzle pressure or strips the choke. they can b shot out of any gun though

Not mentioned: Black Cloud's spokesbeard, Phil Robertson, shoots a full choke exclusively. I notice he doesn't have issues killing birds.

don't need anything extra to shoot it, but I have heard that you need a special ammo can to store this stuff in, because it is so darn deadly.

Not exactly. He said; I think it was on the very last episode of Duckmen, that they only show the birds that completly fold when they fire, everything else is edited out.
Jase shoots the extra full vortex choke tube and one of the shots from "Fear the Beard" he shears a wing completely off of a bird and absolutley hammers it's body at about 10 to 15 yards. That is what got my attention on this Black Cloud thing. That's pretty close but if it is that tight at that point it still has to be holding together pretty far out.
I bought the Trulok BC tubes to save money but I may switch to the Vortex units if I don't feel I'm getting what I am looking for.

I aint going to send the mods into stroke mode today nuts. When we have a bottle of Crown, a steak and a fire then we can argue the marketing scheme of today's hunting industry.

Man I can't crank it up this soon before duck season. I let him slide at the lodge the last time about the duck call thingy. He won't get another pass before he understands the term white on rice laugh.

I never heard him snore it was Chad that couldn't sleep from the snoring. I had induced enough adult beverages to lose control of my physical and mental faculties, so I slept like a baby. banana

If we could average the bed time between you and Gdogg we would all get "enough" sleep. Gary is a bad influnce on me...dude likes to stay up to the early hours...then he's the first one up in the morning. I kind of hate people that don't need sleep.

In the Relentless video one of them shoots a ducks head clean off. That was awesome!
