Seabass Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi I have been involved in quite a few fox shoots and my advice is to use as tight a choke as you can get away with as foxes can sometimes break cover quite a bit out of range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go for 3/4 using 50g bb's. Does the job!! Have used full choke in the past-but find 3/4 slightly more forgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, so long as your shootings good enough for the tight patern-no worries. What you need to do is check your pattern using different chokes and carts.

Thanks for that...Much appreciated...I only got the Amax carts tonight from a mate,(my shootings not too bad),but I didnt have time to give them a workout..Tomorrow, I might not even get a shot in.....But as for a try out,I'll get that sorted on Sunday... and will report back..
