Hi everyone.
Its been a little while since I last posted here as I have found a cartridge I like and shoot nothing else. I shoot only Fiocchi Golden Trap 28grms (Uk 7's). Smooth, Low Recoil, and pattern well enough through my half chokes it makes me feel great when I dust the clays. So that is that then.
I shoot only Sporting Clays and am still learning my 'trade' so to speak. My gun is an Mk38 Grade 5 Trap with Teagues, but I only shoot 2x Half Chokes. I don't change them because they break everything I have seen so far on a Sporting layout. However........I do miss some close in dinner plates at times, and whilst I know this is still down to poor technique, would there be any advantage in having a more open shell like a Fibre Wad cartridge in 8's to open my pattern a little on closer targets? Or should I just keep practising my technique?
I am trying to remove as many variables as possible as my current gun/cartridge combination works well for me and changing chokes seems like too much hassle to be honest.
Your thoughts are always appreciated!
