Very nice!

Very nice 32s!
|
What's the vent rib trap choked?
|
I checked really quick on Sunday since it was skeet I was shooting, I think it was 0.037/0.037. The skeet birds did not fair very well.
|
Nice!!
32" barrels -- get 'em swinging, keep 'em swinging. They might even make a poor shot like me a bit better on crossing shots, but would definitely make me a happier shooter carrying one. |
Brian you don’t want some crummy old vent rib gun that has a yuck single trigger . Send it to Virginia and it can stay with the yucky old vent rib single trigger gun in my safe .:whistle::bigbye::rotf::rotf::rotf:

I still cannot forget a good many of the so called trap shooters in the know thirty to forty years ago saying 32” doubles were to long to get on the second trap doubles bird quickly . Evidently it didn’t hinder those before them and it damn sure doesn’t seem to be hindering folks now . Heck now I see skeet shooters competing with 34” barrels no less .

Grasshopper, choke is irrelevant. Put the muzzles at the right place and you will break the bird. :clap:

Choke for smoke.

Different chokes for different "fokes". |

Here’s my prescription for trap: Full choke for singles; tight full for handicap; modified for first shot in doubles and full for second shot. #8 shot for singles and first shot in doubles; #7 1/2 shot in handicap and second shot in doubles. Works for me.
And I’ll take the middle road. I go for ink balls but will take whatever I can get. |
I am a lucky sporting clays shooter, in that I am not looking for a high 90s score and don't lament the occasional miss caused by my tight chokes. As long as we're sharing old shooting quotes, let me give you one that has not been used on this thread. "The great majority of misses are not measured in inches. Most are measured in feet." The size of the pattern does not cause anywhere near as many misses as lifted heads and peeking at sights. Just my experience.

Concerning 12 gauge guns with one exception all that I own are choked in excess of .030, some substantially more. I don't even think about chokes any more as long as they are tight, just shoot and move on. I have carried the same 2 boxes of spreaders to Haussmans, The Rock, and the Southern for I don't really know how long now, they are still full. Same intention every trip, use em on the bunny. Same mind set every trip, I ain't wasting the time digging them out. Don't get me wrong I thinks it's a great idea on the bunny but I just get into a shooting mode mentally and either forget that I have them or just refuse to change anything in my routine. BUT, I have committed to using them in 2023, really. :whistle:
My shooting pal says with reference to tight chokes costing shooters targets that "tight chokes don't matter, you're either on it or you ain't." After years of hearing him say that I'm not so sure that he isn't correct. |
Craig, having shot one "Perfect 100" in an event and many 99, 98, 97s too, it's so easy to make one mental mistake and give up that coveted 100. Bad mount, bad trigger pull, off line, out in front, behind.....The list goes on and on. Doesn't matter how soft we set a course, every bird needs the same amount of focus. The "easy" birds are the ones we don't focus hard on and that causes misses. The mental game causes more misses than a choke combination, which can also be part of the mental game. Let's say you look at a pair, quartering birds, slow to medium speed, kill zone at 20-25 yards and you think you need IC/SK. You swap out your M or LM, then proceed to miss the first pair. Now your mind blames the choke selection instead of an improper mount and connection with the birds. That doubt will most likely cause at least another miss if not more. Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

Nice trio of guns Brian. Apologies for detouring your thread but if I start out on the first few stations just chipping targets I just don't have the feedback to get into a "zone". Smoke begets smoke. YMMV.

Well I have shot many a 25 in skeet with full and full. My happiest day ever was shooting a 25 with my 34” hammer gun, O frame with 0.044 and 0.044. I have logged more 23’s than I can count with it but 25 is a bit tricky as the mind game closes in on station 8 :-). The best practice I have ever done is with tight chokes on a skeet field, to repeat the above……when your in the zone it all plays out and some days when I say “that gun is not shooting where I am looking!” I am nowhere near the mindset I need to be in to shoot well.
Happy shooting everyone and shoot what you like, with the choke you like, as much as you can. |
