adam1 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 What choke are you Escort owners generally using for your decoying, so were all talking the same language lets talk in the number of notches used to signify choke type. I'm using the 4 notch one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanl50 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 1 notch =full choke 2 " =3/4 3 " =1/2 choke 4 " =1/4 choke 5 " = cylinder Shooting over decoys I always use 1/4 choke it works for me, I wouldnt go above 1/2 choke though Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight32 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I would'nt touch them, personally I would put a seal weld right around the top of the barrel to stop them blowing out................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I have a 1/4 in mine which i use for Pigeons and wildfowling (Steel proof) Dont use anything else really but i do remove it after every session stops it from getting stuck in the barrel Edited September 11, 2009 by Spaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHunter Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I read somewhere that the chokes on the Escort didn't quite conform to the nomal way of thinking. This is from the article but it was talking about a 20g version. Five screw-in chokes came as part of the package, each marked on the side with the degree of choke. The terms used are not quite the same as the British system and, as choke is a measurement relative to bore size, it was decided to gauge them in comparison to barrel bore. With this set, cylinder was larger than the bore, improved cylinder came out the same as open improved cylinder in our system - ie 0.003in choke - modified as tight improved cylinder (0.007in), improved modified as quarter-choke and full was actually just over half. Don't know if the 12g is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
