BTW, when I bought the H&H Royal, I sent it back to Briley's for choke tubes, because I could not see myself owning a fixed choke gun with 0/.08 choke constrictions.
I bought the gun from Chuck Webb, and he understood, because set up all of my competition guns over the years. Choke tube job was comped, BTW. Funny story: So I go on this bluegrouse hunt up on top of the Dunckley Flat Tops in CO. Elevation about 10.5k ft. I back backpacked the H&H up, and knowing what altitude does to patterns, put in my most open pair of chokes. 05/10k. The high altitude and thin air created super tight patterns that would break every bone in the bird if shot under 20 yds. I patterned the .05 choke up there, and you would think I was shooting a pigeon gun. |

As to tight chokes helping a better shot I'm still on the fence about that on the skeet field . However I will say in trap sporting or pigeons FOR ME ATLEAST tight chokes give me confidence .

We are in agreement. I'm sure the top competitors in skeet are not running full chokes, just as the top competitors in pigeons are not running skeet chokes.
There are no gimmicks, or "I saw a chip" in box birds. It's either in or out. BTW, I have always pattern tested every load and every choke on the P-gun. Never had to do that with the NSFW GHE. You put em in the pattern, and that old Parker turned em into a dish rag! |

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.
