32” Sunday

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 .

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 .

IMHO, in Doubles trap it’s more important to get the first target as quick as possible. Then you’ve got plenty of time to get to the second bird. So, if 32 inch barrels are good for singles then they’re good for the second target in doubles. However, both of my doubles guns are 30 inches. The real oddity is shooting a side by side.

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

I’d rather have 100 chipped targets than 99 ink balls and one that got away An X is an X don’t grade uhm

That's really a "created scenario" that rarely happens. The fact is that "smoke" creates self-confidence, whereas chips do not. And, self confidence makes you a better shot. I'll put my money on a sporting clays shooter that prefers tight chokes. I've shot nothing but .020" and .020" in my Perazzi 31 1/2" MX 8 since about 2008. Punched into M class in 2010. Never seen the need for screw-ins in that gun. If I have a close-in, erratic, rabbit target I drop in a spreader and handle it that way.

Different chokes for different "fokes".

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, Brian's thread is on it's way to Cuba.... That always happens as soon as the topic of choke comes up.
