Albert 888 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 evening and welcome. The norm for chokes are 1/2 and 1/4 and cartridge choice is usually 32g 6's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinga86 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Agree with the chokes but I'd use a 30g 6. Plenty of stopping power. Each to their own bud, one of those things you have to try and test yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikk Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) I'm on my first driven day on friday. I have never changed my chokes but due to my over excitment of cleaning and oiling I took mine out. I have now got the 1/2 in my bottom barrel and the 1/4 in my top with the selector on bottom barell first. I reasoned that on incoming birds only I'd want a tighter pattern for my first shot followed up with the more open second barrel for a follow up shot. Does this make sense?

Why not just keep the tighter choke in your top barrel and use the selector as you need it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perfectly understandable as a beginner to driven shooting to be anxious about cartridge,choke etc,but believe me;forget about choke and concentrate on enjoying yourself.If you miss,it wont be because you have in the wrong chokes.Sweeeeeep your muzzles through the birds like you're painting a wall,and enjoy yourself.
