Went for a round of sporting today and as I was by myself I thought I'd have a little play and swap my usual 1/4 & 1/2 for 3/4 and Full. 

 

I dont know why, I just wanted to have a change and a play/experiment. For the years ive been shooting ive never shot clays with more than 1/2. 

 

Anyway, I was expecting to go back to the car half way round and put my usual chokes back in.... However, I actually ended up completing the entire round with 3/4 and Full and thoroughly enjoying it. Not only that, I felt as though I hit more and felt more confident? (Didn't count as I was by myself) 

 

The complete opposite of how I predicted I would feel....

 

When I got home and cleaned the gun, I put my 3/4 and Full back in and intend to use this set up again next time. 

 

Has anyone else done this and not looked back? Or was it because I was by myself and concentrating more :hmm:

 

Cheers, 

 

Dave :)

I did the same experiment yesterday, and went shooting with full/full at Atkins&lang&grant -- I ended up like you -- same impressions -- I felt I shot very well, and I didn't feel I was particularly limited by the chokes -- and blimey, I did 'smoke' a few, which is quite satisfying.

I'd even say that it 'pushes' you a bit more, in the sense that I wasn't terribly satisfied when i wasn't 'smoking' 20-30yd targets.

I pretty often us 3/4s but I always revert to 1/2s somehow, perhaps I shoudl just stick to tighter chokes for a while and see how it goes.

Since february, have you stuck to your tight chokes?
