Lloyd90 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Which combo would you prefer? 1/4 &1/2, 3/8 & 3/8 or 3/8 & 5/8 I currently have a 1x skeet extended and 1x 3/8 extended - wanted to get a couple more. Not sure whether to just buy 1x 3/8 or buy a few eg 1/4, 1/2 & 5/8 so I have a range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 For clays or game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper682 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Don't honestly know what you gain from3/8 or 5/8. 1/4 and 1/2 for me . Don't over complicate things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 1/4 & 1/2 for game. 1/4 & 1/4 for clays works well enough for me. IF I get a rangey clay target, I just use a 'World Cup' or similar to tighten up the pattern. I always use the tighter choke first on game, followed by the more open. Again the choice of shot size/cartridge load to suit the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Half and half for game and clays ( or quarter and half if using fixed choke ) and full and full for decoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraai Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 1/2-1/2 or 1/2-3/4 must say i only use steel shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 1/2 and 3/4 for decoying, 3/4 and full for roosting/flighting or when on the crows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Most of my shooting is walked up at the moment although I will hopefully be doing a lot of pigeon and crow decoying this year. Also plan to do a sporting clays 1-2 times a month over the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buze Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 1/2 1/2 on game, 3/4 3/4 on clays when training, and 1/4 1/4 if I'm doing a CPSA (not very often). I wish I had Cyl/Cyl for the farm shoot I do every month, because they have clay I'm sure I could use a baseball bat on :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 hello, a lot will also depend on what cartridges you will be using?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hi mate, I use clear pigeon 32g - 6s on crows and pigeons at present. I used Black Gold 32g 5s On game and walked up.

oldypigeonpopper Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 hello, this is my opinion but i think walked up would be 30g no 6 and maybe 30/32 6 for pigeon/ 32 no 5 for crow, walked up improved/ half/ pigeon 1/4 3/4 crows 1/4 full, but there again i was using cheapy 7.5s roost shooting with 1/4 3/4.
