Demonic69 Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Check your current chokes too. Hatsan have 3 different types of chokes for older and newer models. V1 have the thread at the top, by the muzzle and are interchangeable with Beretta/Benelli mobil. V2 and V3 threads are towards the bottom of the choke, I don't think they're interchangeable though. TCs look like V1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No debate for me, Cylinder mostly but if I'm having a bad day or they're high or at range, I "might" change to mod, if I can be bothered. I don't have a 1/4. I don't want to enter into an argument over distance, it is what it is. The second shot on the video below is half choke (mod) through a Hatsan escort using Clear pigeon 32gram. It's the shot (on camera) that I'm most proud of this year. You're either on them or not and I don't think anymore choke would have helped. The lead was about 18 feet.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 If that was 18 feet of lead you've got some mighty big pigeons up there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without entering into arguments over distance, what lead would you have said and what distance out. No arguments from me. I was there and shot it. Memorable shot for me.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Oh memorable I agree, but a wood pigeon is only so long. Consequently to be giving it 18 foot of lead I would expect it to look about 18 X the length of the target. From your video I see it as 7 or 8 feet.

It all depends on where and what your shooting and with what. Over splashes decoys steel and lead the mod, this 1/4 choke in measurement. I had a full for general shooting wildfowl splashes as geese it wasn't the best, either too tight with 32 4shot for ducks over splashes and not great with BB flighting geese. Go for xtra full for flighting or the mod for all round, it shoots BB shot good enough. Or better still just buy a Briley mod and xtra full for same cost. Work great and your covered for all your shooting. Edited October 20, 2020 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment, I've had people say it was more, some less. It shows how people see things differently. I couldn't pace out the lead only the distance to it on the ground.
