M ROBSON Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 The big downside is you can't use it any tighter than Modified for steel or HS. Steel especially performs better through tighter restrictions than that. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) Sorry to post this question I only use an airgun and was just curious as to know what a choke is and what it does? Regards, Axe. Edited June 17, 2005 by Axe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 just for you Axe ,this may explain what hoards of shooters spend countless hours pondering over wether they made the right choice or not http://www.chuckhawks.com/shotgun_chokes.htm Martin :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodmedod.one Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Axe, If you have visited the Chuckhawks site as per TLE's recommendations, you will now know all about chokes Some people love them, others think that they are "An invention of the Devil" The thing is that as soon as you start thinking about what choke you are shooting through, you immediately have both a reason for hitting and an excuse for missing with every shot that you take! The more you worry about choke, the less you will hit. I beat on a large Norfolk Estate. The Landowner uses a 12g side by side with no choke in either barrel. He kills a lot of birds that other people would not even consider raising a gun to. If you have a well-fitting gun and practice your technique you don't need to worry much about chokes. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Cor blimey gov', and I thought using a shotgun was simply point and squirt! So in essence, the more choke used means a tighter spread pattern which in turn, requires a more accurate shot. Am I right in thinking then..... Pigeon shooters would use medium to no choke in order to acheive a greater impact area and clay shooters would use a medium to heavy choke to be sure of a single hit? Why is it I feel i've just opened a can of worms....!!! Thanks for the info guys. Regards, Axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
