Axor Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Not my work but you may find this useful. If all your shots are less than 30 metres, you don’t need a full choke. If you are shooting at aerial targets no closer than 45 metres, only a full choke will do the job. Larger shot sizes are best used with tighter chokes because of the lesser number of pellets in the pattern, just as small shot is best used in more open chokes as the pellets are so light that they will be ineffective at longer ranges anyway. With six common shot sizes and five standard choke sizes in a double-barrelled shotgun, there are more than enough permutations and combinations to experiment with, until you can find the ones that work best.

No worries mate, glad to be able to help Lets hope you get luck at roosting with the gun,and let's hope you get on with the choke if not try a different one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny_blaster Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Dont bother getting worked up about chokes and which one to use. Just put any choke in and get on with shooting the gun. Most misses are caused by the person behind the trigger or the gun not fitting you properly not what choke you've got in the barrel. Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
