webber Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 1 notch = Full 5 notches = Open Therefore, 2 notches = 3/4, 3 notches = 1/2, and 4 notches = 1/4 Thats how I remember it. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 H I find my cartridge / choke combination is good for theusual 25 to 35 yard shot. I only shoot fibre wads, for pigeon, game or clays. However I did astound myself on Good Friday whilst decoying pigeon on rape. 1st pigeon, 1st shot. down like a brick, not a flap. Some time later when we left the hide to tidy up, my mate commented on how far away the pigeon was. I therefore paced the distance from hide to pigeon. It was 52 paces, which I rekon would be between 45 and 48 yards. I was pleased with the shot but do not normally take shots at that distance. I am still adjusting to new glasses, which seem to be doing the business as I shot like a good un on clays at Lindale on Easter Monday. webber ps It was around mid night when I made my previous post. Sorry, but I do need my ugly sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hitman Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Rottweil super trap 32g no7,deadly. 1/4+3/4 choke ,kills pigeons at 40yds consistently. I have used more open chokes in the past, but have settled for this combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
