squodged Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 What would be the Best chokes for sporting? Or as i've heard is it mostly in the mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy W Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 People say 1/4 + 1/2 are the best all round combination with a 71/2 or 8 cartridge, I have recently started using skeet & 1/4 to try it out, no problems yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'm with Andy on that one. I use to use 1/4 and 1/2 and #7.5 shot. Now i swapped to Cylinder and 1/4 with #8. I think there's a saying that says "Chokes give you inches but you miss in feet". So yeah it's probably in the head. #8 shot will give around 60 more pellets than 7.5 carts (28grm) and they seem to break most of the sporting targets i come up against.

webber Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 For sporting, 1/4 & 1/2. This subject has recently been debated, a search would be worthwhile. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 As Webber says this has (like so many things) been discussed before, but I would add that there is sporting and there is sporting. The difficulty of the discipline is variable, depends on the ground, that is one of it's attractions. So what works at one may not work at another, but chopping and changing messes with your head, so you are best to stick with them as open as you can get away with. How you decide that is a difficult one, but it is likey that you will be able to get away with skeet and 1/4 and may not need anything more than 1/4 and 1/2 unless you are doing very hard shoots or competing at a fairly serious level.

Guest AA MAN Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 A multichoke end of thread - Why not use the optimum choke for each target If you had a 1/4 1/4 choked gun and had a pair of 50 yard egde on midis - you may break one or two but you will never straight that stand, If you have 1/2 and 3/4 and the target is 10 yards away some with a multichoke puts in cylinder and suddenly his pattern is 5 times the size of yours - Every little helps in clay shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
