LET'S TALK CHOKES!!!

[Dave Workman]

19 days and counting....now's a good time to talk chokes.

What choke do you prefer for doves, grouse?

Choke combinations (double guns)??


I'm debating between I/C & Modified or I/M and Modified on my new over and under.  With my S/S guns it's a no brainer. they all have fixed chokes and double triggers.

Mod for single barrel

IC & IM for a double.

[Mr56Jeep]

Assuming steel, C and IC.   Or Skeet and Skeet on my 20.

I like anything from cylinder to modified for early season and modified to full for the part of the season.  Modified tends to be the general choke that would shine any season.

Rear naked if I can sneak up on them. 

I'm using a modified on my single barrel 20g.

For grouse...

Cylinder and IC for a double.

IC for auto's and pumps.

Use all season.

Improved Cylinder if I am packing my 12 or my pump 410 is fixed full. Depends if it is blues or ruffed on the menu.

[CedarPants]

I/C and Modified in my OU

For grouse...

Cylinder and IC for a double.

I like my Pattern Master for doves. It's a super full choke. great for taking long shots... when everyone else misses.  lol....

For grouse, it depends. I also like really tight chokes so you can shoot the heads off 'em....  but mostly just use my 20 ga. double gun in mod. and IC.

Haven't shot any birds yet but using mod on my 12 pump has been very successful in skeet sessions. 

[wadu1]

Cylinder and IC for a double, IC or Skeet for auto's and pumps. Sporting clays I shoot cylinder for most and long shots IC. I only change my shot size, #9 close, #8 med and 71/2 for long shots I use the same theory on birds from doves to geese.

Your Skeet scores will go up if you loosen up your choke a lot.

Tighter is more righter, Mod to full for just about every thing but early season grouse, then its Cyl and IC.
Less than Mod leaves too much room for cripples Especially if you are a crappy shot and just fringe them half the time.

Modified or full typically.  I like pass shooting the taller shots.  Makes it a challenge.
