imp cylinder and 1/4 choke if you ask me. Never used tighter chokes myself as most roost shooting is snap shooting. Just a personal view, but honest.

[chrispti 3]

3/4 or full for roosting

[goldfinger 135]

I would use 1/4 choke mate,a good all rounder for pigeon,I find roost shooting can be quick reaction shooting at times.

I have never used more than 1/4 choke for roosting. When 32 grm was the "normal" load, I used those, but these days, never more than 28 grm of No6.

cylinder and 1/4 cannot be beaten. cartridges I would use sixes to kill them dead in the air. Gather your birds as they fall and a dog is a great help so long as he is steady.

Been itchin to get out myself but were gettin no wind at all. Maybe next week.

best a luck

I always use improved & quarter with 32g 6's, keep swinging and ignore the trees, cracking sport if there's a bit of wind to keep them down. If it's not very windy they'll drop into a wood like stones from a great height giving little chance of making a good bag.

 

Good luck.
