Classic game choke.

[LordGamebore 0]

What is deemed to be the classic choke combination for game guns? If someone was to choose a fixed choke gun for traditional english driven shooting, what would be traditional. When I mean game shooting, I mean when the birds are normally shown between 20-40 yards and not these ridiculously high birds on we see on some shoots.

1/4 AND 1/2 would pretty much cover the bases if using plastic wads

or 1/2 and 3/4 if using fibre.

The most important thing is to use a cartridge that patterns the way

you want it to in your gun.

Thinking 1/2 and 3/4 with a non-selective trigger.

I use improved and Quarter ! Try shooting a pair of driven patridges with 1/2 and 3/4 You might hit them but will you be able to eat them ?

Hi.

If you are using a shotgun for traditional driven shooting you need your tight choke first and open choke as the birds get closer.

Most game gun manufacturers seem to consider 1/4 and 1/2 to be the most common or "traditional" choking.

 

Never used it myself, always 1/2 and 1/2 with 7's. As mentioned above, its about finding the cartridge which patterns well through your gun with enough poke at whatever distance you're shooting at.

All of the game I shoot is shown in the traditional manner at fairly modest distances. I wouldn't raise my gun to a bird past 40 yards, not because I'm not capable of it but because the average of clean kills starts to drop past 40 yards, and we owe it to our quarry to kill it cleanly.

I really wan't a fixed choke sbs and that's why I ask.

 

@SportingShooter

You use 7's and 1/2 choke for game? What ranges do you shoot at?

Any range within normal shotgun shooting. Happily kill birds all day long at 40 yards, have gone quite a considerable distance further on many occasions too. I'm not boasting that 7's and 1/2 is all you need, but its just what works for me, my gun and shooting
