robmiller Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Right, a basic question to all you pros and no doubt depends on how good a shot you are. Ok, what choke combination would you use for different activities, say Clays Driven days / pheasants / ducks Rough shooting Pigeon shooting Any comments?

Are you planning to use the same gun for all these different shooting activities ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmiller Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 pretty much! Rarely do clays, so it will be one off used for this. Mostly)15% of the time syndicate shoot (informal pheasants and ducks off ponds) pigeon / corvid shooting on a now and again basis Rough shooting the rest of the time.

Greenhunter Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 As already said, 1/4 and 1/2 for everything with the exception for really high pheasants, then 1/2 and 3/4 :blink: GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 As already said, 1/4 and 1/2 for everything with the exception for really high pheasants, then 1/2 and 3/4 :blink: GH Oddly enough just by chance I met a guy at the clay ground that shot pheasants he just wanted to get his eye in as he put it, he was really helpful actually he said he usually takes long birds and has 3/4 on bottom barrel and 1/2 on top, I am just trying to build some sight pictures in my mind and get the mount and swing right so I am quite happy on the skeet range with skeet chokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) 1/2 and 1/4 for most stuff Dtl 1/4 3/4 or 1/2 full . Sporting depends on layout but 1/2 & 1/4 or 1/4 and cylinder For live quarry I use 1/2& 1/4 and shoot larger shot in heavier loads for distance (5s at 34gms for high birds or goose 50gms of 3s or 1s ) Edited September 18, 2009 by utectok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonySmith Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 1/4 + 1/2 for clays, 3/4 in the SA for rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr salt Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 As Greenhunter said: As already said, 1/4 and 1/2 for everything with the exception for really high pheasants, then 1/2 and 3/4 :blink: .... In my m/c (o/u) guns i always go and buy another 1/2 choke so i can have two 1/2 chokes fit at the same time. tho in the semi i do swap between 1/2 and 3/4,depending what iam doing. Dont get to carried away with the whole choke thing,i would suggest the you pattern test it with a big bit of cardboard, so in your mind you have an idea what its doing in the field. cheers scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
