mpk Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 3 will be 1/2 and 4 1/4 I think , most use 1/4 for decoying I prefer having 1/2 in start with 1/4 then move up to half if you feel the need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 in your over and under put 3*(1/2) in the top barrel and 4*(1/4) in the bottom barrel and you will not go to far wrong shooting anything from driven pheasant through to clays and everything else inbetween including decoyed pigeons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodcock1 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) As above 1 notch -full choke 2 notch -three quarter 3 notch -half choke 4 notch -quarter choke quarter and half chokes will do most live quarry shooting barring maybe wildfowling or extreme ranges, 40yds +.

BenBhoy Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 bottom first will give less flip, but you'll find it easier re-loading top first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
