JDog Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I bought the Classic Doubles on Thursday morning and shot a few pigeons roosting with it on that evening. So far so good. This morning I was standing in the fog at 7:30 wondering if I would get shot or two at flighted pigeons. I was off the line by 100m. My companion was on it. With no wind and not much visibility the pigeons were high, many too high to raise the gun at. However some presented fair shots for us both and between us we shot 34 pigeons and six corvids. I am happy with my purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only yesterday did I purchase a 3/4 invector choke for the gun. I will set it up with half and three quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Hello, Chokes are a matter of opinion but that sound ideal with those cartridges you mentioned Jd, maybe last year i mentioned going 3/4 full using 28g 7.5s but having a think on this i am going back to 1/4 3/4 when i next get chance of some pigeon shooting, This should get a better pattern over decoys or roosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
