Too slow ok

mrs darth has just got me two muller chokes for xmas a u2 and a u3 which are 1/4 and 1/2

probably all you need, or maybe another u3 to give a 1/2 and 1/2 combination.

great looking chokes, lightweight and do,nt unscrew between stands

e-mail nick at justchoking for your sil pig fitment

Another vote for Mullers. I don't advocate swapping chokes too much, so I would say a pair of U2 or U3, but whatever, they are great.

 

[Bryn12]

yup another vote for Mullers, did an 'all round' today started of with 25 ABT (U2s), 25 Skeet (U0s) then 50 Sporting (U1 btm, U2 top), very quick and easy to change. Still shot like a tw@t though :sclerosis:

Don't you have a fixed choke gun..!?

 

[Doctor Lecter]

Your money would be better spent on some lessons than on chokes

I take your point as I use flush ones but to be fair nobody has yet beaten me in a swap race that I was aware of  :haha: . Honestly, it's a blessing that they aren't too easy to change, and that's coming from someone who doesn't like fixed choke guns as a rule.

Get some second hand genuine Beretta ones. They are quite cheap now as everyone is buying mullers.

It's a thumb and finger job on the choke key as well, in fact once you've slacken'd it its a finger job!!!!. I didn't realise changing chokes had turned in to an F1 pit stop race to save a second or two. Are you wanting to change between shots???

[Doctor Lecter]

ok point taken !    what I mean is  it is easier with extended chokes   , while changing chokes with said thumb and finger  you can watch targets  being shot  .    am I digging a hole ?  :alcoholic:

 

[dashman1]

Yep atb

 

[westley]

Not so much a hole, more a second channel tunnel !

I have solved the problem of what choke to use, I have 2 in my O/U and 1 in my auto and they STAY there. I shot yesterday and watched the choke changers busily changing chokes, when, they really should have been watching the targets that they were about to shoot. I shot the entire course with my old Beretta 303, fitted with 1/4 choke. I simply put a harder hitting cartridge in for 1 or 2 rangey targets. At no time did I feel 'undergunned' and I would sooner have 90 'chipped' breaks than 80 balls of dust any day.

 

[Irishgunner]

If you want them get them briley,Teague,Muller,beretta the list go's on, I don't change chokes still sooner have extended, but I'm a bit of a tackle tart

 

[Doctor Lecter]

out of interest westley  where did you shoot and what score with quarter choke ?    I shoot orston gun club  "my local "  and to be honest I do feel under gunned  with quarter . :spiteful:  

 

[westley]

I shot the 100 birder at Catton Hall. I managed a score of 73, which is about my average but I suppose 2 strokes and age are a bit against me. I am having to use my auto, due to being unable to lift my O/U at present. There was not a single target that I totally missed, ie :- I hit at least 2 of each target thrown, but not necessarily in the right order, so to speak. There was a high midi that a lot of people seemed to struggle with, there was a distinct 'lull' between bang and break, so it was a fair way out. I simply changed cartridge to World Cups and hit 3 out of the 4 thrown. I shot at West Mids earlier in the year with a similar score but used my Miroku with 1/4 in both barrels and once again there was not a single target that I repeatedly missed. I find that I am hitting the first couple of pairs but then drop one or both of the last pair. All of the stands that I straighted yesterday were 3 pairs, but I do not think that the choke makes any difference to my ability whatsoever.

P.S.      A 91 won it !
