Well PH, firstly it's 'CHOKE'.

But that's detail, you don't say if you have a O/U>S/S or a Semi-Auto?

Assuming you only have 1 choke to play with you must have a semi-auto i.e. one barrel.

Then I would reccomend a 1/2 choke, but pick your shells properly as this is MORE important

than the degree of choke (in my opinion?).

For Mid to High Pigeons I would use 32 Gram No5's in the felt wad, I prefer to us lots of pellets

of a medium/large size through a fairly open choke.

However if you have a double barrel variable choke shotgun, then I would reccomend true cylinder in

the 'open' barrel and 1/2 in the 'top' or 'left' barrel, still using the same shells.

I am however old school, and a fairly lousy shotgun shot, rifle shooting spoils your shotgun technique

that's for sure.

Some young 'hotshots' I've seen do very well with 28 Gram plasiwad No7>8's through full chokes, but if I use that

I can't hit a damm thing.

I have an old s/s dont think barrals are the same size hmmm dose this mean that they need choke put in them. I have not had a shot gun for long so please bare with me and sorry about my bad spelling

[waidmann 105]

if its a high bird then use the second trigger/barrel first(thats the tightest).

 

its easy to take choke out but hard(expensive)to add it to agun that does not have screw in chokes.

How do you mean the barrels are a different size? They should be even with an inner diameter at the end that is normally slightly different ie: chokes. If there is a screw in choke it means they can be swapped around, if they are fixed chokes then tough you've got what you got

if in doubt take it to the shop and get him to "pop in a choke guage"

i think its kind of a given that A there fixed and B if he cant tell from fixed and open for chokes should he really be out shooting anyhting other than clays untill he learns alot more about what hes doing..

 

i dont mean to affend you but you really should be joining a local clay shooting club and learn about shotguns and shooting / shooting safty. befor u go out and shoot some woodies. Everyone thinks they know what they are doing and there 100% safe till they shoot them selfs in the foot.
