Only hit 91 so maybe it wasn't enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Cheers, Dave im shooting a zoli z sporter fixed chokes 1/2 3/4 it removes choice and doubt I can change shells and barrel selector so im sorted nearest clay gets the 1/2 choke its all down to my skillset mmmmmm ?

Or was it because I was by myself and concentrating more 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?
