Choke sizes?

[Dexter Morgan]

Using 7 1/2 target loads from Canadian Tire.

Shooting an O/U shotgun.

Learning to play the game of Skeet Shooting.

What chokes should I use?

 

[Jnyiri]

What about skeet?

Cyl, Sk. or IC will work well for skeet. Mod or full for trap. Light Mod. for sporting or 5 stand.

Cyl, Sk. or IC will work well for skeet.

Can you pick just one?

Can you pick just one?

Skeet is preferred

Improved Cylinder would be a second choice

and Cylinder would be last choice of those three.

But the actual difference in size of contriction between all three of those if

a few hundredths of an inch.

Any of them will work satisfactorily, your typical skeet target is 21 yards away, not very far in the grand scheme of things

If you are after the best choke, you might also want to change to #9 shot.

^^ agreed.
1 1/8, 9 shot, cylinder bore, with kill zone in the middle of the field was a large factor in my 125 straight.

I typically use my field guns that are choked IC/MOD, and then I often shoot the chokes backwards - tighter choke on the incoming targets.
I have no problem breaking skeet birds with those chokes and know and know without exception that if i miss a bird it's not because I'm overchoked or underchoked, but because i was either behind or over the bird..

I use diffusion mostly for skeet with 1 oz 8 shot I really like diffusion chokes although alot of other shooters don't but really anything from diffusion to ic seems to work good for skeet and most sporting clay courses and 5 stand

Skeet chokes.

Dexter, skeet gets addicting. Best you wean off those Crappy Tire 100 round packs and find a place that sells 250 round flats for a good price. Flats of Federal Top Guns or Win Supertargets are around $55 +/-. And a 1oz #9 load would help with the cheek and shoulder pounding from recoil.

Before you know it, you'll have three sub gauge tube sets and 4 reloaders on the go.

Mojo, I can't find any prices like you mention. Any tips?

Mojo, I can't find any prices like you mention. Any tips?

Flats of Winchester Super targets are $51.49 plus taxes at Sail.

LeBaron typically has them for about the same price.

I only know Ontario prices. Can get Federals from Lawry's shooting sports in Caledonia ON for $52. And Hummason Manufacturing in Anchaster ON. has the Winchesters for the same price.
