Interesting Configuration

I'm not an open choke guy, but in a 12 ga, cylinder chokes will break skeet targets all day long.

Full choke will break them all day long if you’ve got your head in the game . The average skeet target I think is 20-22 yards tops . Choke for all intents and purposes is an irrelavent commodity . Once one’s learned the game and understands you have more time than you originally thought it’s not difficult with tight chokes . When I shot competitively I had changeable chokes on the subgauge insert tubes and when practicing I always shot tighter chokes then for registered I used the more open chokes . The hardest part of skeet is keeping your mind in the game for 100 different milliseconds . Mechanics of the game are 5-15% but the nut on the stock is the other 85-95% .

True words on skeet. Same for trap, IMO.

I questioned my desire for excessive chokes when I watched Edgar breaking clays at 40+ yds. with a 28 ga., cylinder chokes in both barrels. We walked over to the long station at Addieville just for kicks at the end of the day, it's a long shot and the targets are falling hard by the time you can pick them up. It certainly changed the way I look at open choked guns.

First time I shot the course at Sanford I used more open chokes guns if I had the option in my accumulation . And I found myself trying to jump the targets quick and I wasn’t smooth . My sychie was telling me to shoot quick before it outruns the choke . End result lower scores , luckily I’d brought tight choked guns as well and the next day my scores were better .
