Kevin, we will turn a blind eye! As long as said choke remains in the gun for the entire event it’s OK. But please, none of those ugly extended versions!

Well if a choke tube is ok so will my adjustable comb on the parker...lol

Only if it’s adjusted properly to begin with. 😂🤣

Now that the precedent has been set I should have my bespoke Fabbri back from Italy by June with it's adjustable stock, ported barrels, extended gold plated choke tubes and Hydracoil recoil reducer in time for this glorious event.

Daryl, I don’t think there will be a Team Fabbri for the Manufacturer’s Cup.

As much as I find choke tubes to be a waste of $$, at least an adjustable comb has benefits and it is much less expensive that having a new fitted stock made for a gun. A properly fit gun with put the bbls where you need them to be, negating the need for changing chokes. Just sayin’.

Can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve been asked “What chokes should I put in my gun?” before guys would go onto our course. My reply, “Choke is irrelevant, focus is important.” I don’t see guys changing them from one station to the next very often anymore. I recommend that if someone has screw-in-chokes, LM/IM and leave them in. Excellent choke combo and it takes all the distractions out of the process.

Before I started shooting the Bullshit game (sporting clays) I was very much into open choke guns for skeet -dove - quail . I will say I liked tight choked guns for trap then and still do . However I feel a heck of a lot more comfortable with maybe to much choke then thinking I don’t have enough . I seem to shoot in a more smooth manner with a tight choked gun at sporting , if the guns open choked I tend to try and shoot to quick and jump at the bird not swing in a smooth more precise manner .

I actually shoot with two brothers who own, I think 5 Fabbri's between them. If I could talk them into coming I'm sure I could slap together a team Fabbri.
