MAL S Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 try 1/4 in the bottom and 1/2 in the top should be alright to start clay shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I shoot 1/4, 1/4 for clays and 1/4 and either 1/2 or 3/4 in 2nd barrel for game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalgeezer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Welcome to the World of Clay Busting I went through all this when I started 9months ago and I would agree with Mal, having looked into it in great detail, but have settled for a basic set up for 1/4 and 1/2 with the 1/4 in the bottom and use a 1/4 in my semi Works about right everywhere I have been thus far especially with right carts - and thats another world of questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

originalgeezer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ash Stick to the 1/4 and 1/2 and just shoot - over time you will start to learn lots and with this set up, it will pretty much do for most - when you have learnt then play with the chokes, mount and fit, consistency come before all and then go on to the carts and so forth Worth a few lessons, different places to try different things on your own (no pressure when you miss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
