assasin8or 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 been shooting today and was using 32g no6 shot another guy said that no 7 shot was better what do you think is 7 shot really up to the job ??????? Quote Link to post
allenyeates 3 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Depends what you are shooting & at what range. Would prefer 6 shot in 32grm. myself. I mainly use 28 grm 6 shot for decoying and rabbit shooting. Just a personal opinion but works well in my Yeoman. Quote Link to post
rizla1 122 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 i always use 6s 32g for rabbits and decoying they work ok to me Quote Link to post
scarecrow243 24 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 size 7 is used mostly for phesants,patridges,woodcock,etc but use what suits you best Quote Link to post
mally 832 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I certainly wouldn't use no7's on Pheasants as you have a good chance of just wounding the birds. I tend to use 6's for pheasants early season and 5's later on in the season or if i'm shooting high birds. 7's are ok for partridge and woodcock/snipe. I've been using 61/2's recently on pigeons with very good results. Rabbits i use 5's or 6's Quote Link to post
chimp 299 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 im using 6's but doesnt really matter as i cant hit shit anyway Quote Link to post
the Verminator 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 6's for me Quote Link to post
Geoff.C 0 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I use 71/2, 8 and 9 shot on clays, but nothing smaller than 6 on live targets such as rabbit and pigeon. Quote Link to post
gunhills 0 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I use 30/32gram 5's fibre for all decoy game & rabbits always does the job for me Quote Link to post
v-max 2 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I like 5's in 30g-32g or 6's in the same but have used 7's from 28g-32g with great effect for pigeon/woodcock/pheasant etc but the key is cartridge/choke combo to suit your needs & pattern test. Quote Link to post
allenyeates 3 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Had 73 pigeons today over peas. Using Gamebore Clear Pigeon 6 shot fibre. No problems and good clean kills. Quote Link to post
Sterry 0 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I tend to use 5s for everything, work brilliantly on everything from ducks to woodcock to pigeon. that said recently i have been using gamebore clear pigeon no 6 (very good cartridge, very recommended) i wouldnt use 7, just tooo light for my liking, stick to 5 and 6 you wont go wreong Quote Link to post
