[@dave_724]

[@thatgearguy]

Great video thanks from the UK!

[@GoShooting]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@1Batt]

Thank you! Very quick to the point and straight forward!

[@gavingaming123]

Excellent demonstration and explanation of the effects of choke. Thanks for sharing. All the best from Scotland. Garry

[@GoShooting]

Many thanks

[@simondetlefsen3607]

Thank you shot clays for the first time today and hit a few 😊

[@talalkassem575]

Great pattern, great shotgun, and great cartridge.

Awesome - thanks

[@steveavant9727]

Why do you pattern using only lower barrel? Enjoy your videos, I’ve learned a lot. Thanks.

[@cosgrove1981]

He only wanted to compare the chokes, perhaps he used only the lower one since usually one barrel shoots higher than the other and he would not be able to make a proper comparison using both barrels

[@GoShooting]

We make the assumption for a simple POA/POI test that both barrels are the same, we do a specific test for the 2nd barrel (top)

[@rodneyzurek4900]

Less perceived recoil!

[@murilonicolli]

great video, congratulations !!

[@JeffxMck]

That board is way better then paper or cardboard I'm used too. Any tips on making a smiliar pattern board to keep at my club? Metal kind and thickness? Just Normal white paint? BTW, thanks too all your videos, I've completely revamped my (american) trap stance, hold, and pretty much everything. I've gone from a 18-21 average to 22-24 in no time at all!

[@GoShooting]

Ideally 10mm thickness and 1.5 metre by 1.5 metre and approx 1.2 metres off the ground is ideal (sorry for metric if you are American) Paint is 2/3 motor oil mixed with 1/3 white oil based paint. try to keep water out of the mixture

[@JeffxMck]

Thank you so much. I'm canadian, we use a mix up of both systems here haha

What I’m Missing in all these Films, about Shooting a Shotgun, is the Point about the mind of the Shooter and the Fitness Of a shooters Body, Most work is to do in these two points, but nobody tells you….why ?

[@GoShooting]

The answers to all those questions are contained in the videos through our online course “The A to Z of Shotgun Shooting”

[@beeeeee77]

Thank you again for great video!!! Qestion: what is the difference between ported and non-ported chokes?

[@GoShooting]

Nothing

[@charliebecknell9830]

Ported chokes are much nastier, no advantage.

[@swaillim]

hello go shooting , ive been trying to look for a berretta choke gauge forever , any ideas where i can get one? thanks

[@GoShooting]

Sadly the one I had was custom made for 18.4mm constriction barrels. I have never seen a Beretta made gauge.

[@swaillim]

@@GoShooting thank you for your reply , I tried to look everywhere since last year for an 18.6 but can’t seem to find it thanks tho

[@glenmuller6015]

great video, when pattering does it matter if the position of the patterning board is lower from the shooting postition ? like sgooting down hill?

[@GoShooting]

No it won't matter. It is important to mount the shotgun the same to your face at the pattern board as if you were shooting at your target

[@nabilalateeqi4757]

You shotgun optima HP chokes or only optima choke and is it 18.4 or 18.6 bore and if I want same chokes from where can I get?

[@GoShooting]

Beretta 18.6

[@nabilalateeqi4757]

@@GoShooting You said the chokes 18.4 castom made.

[@GoShooting]

@@nabilalateeqi4757 if you want to buy 18.6 Optima chokes buy them from Beretta. Make sure they are suitable for your shotgun. Not all chokes are interchangeable between barrels.

[@nabilalateeqi4757]

@@GoShooting Thanks a lot for your reply

[@alipoorabdollahi6056]

In the full ckoke weapon, what should we do if it spreads too much?

[@dansloan4242]

Do you remember where you got your shotgun choke tube gauge at? Thanks

[@GoShooting]

It was custom made for an 18.4 bore

[@Thoseaboutto911]

Could you use targets to show the difference. Could you use a target to show the effects of too little or too much choke.

[@GoShooting]

Probably a good suggestion

[@KW86.]

Lauren, was working camera? Great video

[@GoShooting]

I think so!

[@DmitryShemyakin]

Отличное видео !!!!

[@Huskyheart]

[@charliebecknell9830]

I mainly shoot ATA trap, I have a fixed choke combo , 34 inch with 0.034 choke, O/U with 0.027 U & 0.037 O. Any recommendations? Do you have "barrel smiths" backbore or rechoke your guns?

[@GoShooting]

The latest model Beretta that we use is a DT11 which has been "overbored" at the factory.

[@ABdou.Nasifazaz]

Hello.what is the best pourcentage of bullets for a rifle to put at the bottom and at the top?

[@GoShooting]

It depends on the discipline. We have a video on this topic

[@peterforner3823]

Hi Russell. What do you recommend for Olympic Trap?

[@GoShooting]

Hi Peter, 3/4 in the bottom and full in the top. Not many variations work in OT

[@peterforner3823]

@@GoShooting Thx. Take care.

[@rossspencer3036]

Hey Russ What's the make of the Choke guage you were using & where can you get one..is half & full the go to for DTL..thanks

[@GoShooting]

Hi Ross, sadly that's a custom made choke gauge only for 18.4mm bore size barrels

[@nabilalateeqi4757]

So your barrels 18.4

[@ABdou.Nasifazaz]

Hii.what I do if my gun put all the shoot high I have 95/5 if I want to give me 80/20 what I do?

[@GoShooting]

We did a video on lowering the point of impact. Take a look. It should help

[@sukhjindersingh1675]

For 50mtr full choke is best and what is your opinion.

[@GoShooting]

No even debatable

[@sukhjindersingh1675]

@@GoShooting ok for wild hog hunting we can use LG cartridge with full choke or no

[@GoShooting]

@@sukhjindersingh1675 you can use lead lg shot but it’s not recommended as it will not perform well pattern wise. I would suggest a far more open choke. Large steel shot sizes through a full choke is a definite NO

[@xandercage6642]

Muy bueno el video, yo tiro en Pedana Americana con IC abajo y IM arriba. En Fosa Olimpica o Trap tiro con M abajo y Full arriba. No hay formulas para esto solo hay que poner bien los caños y el plato se rompe!!! Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina

Gracias Xander, siempre disfrutamos de tus comentarios. Ciao

Except brake pads.

[@shahfaisal7491]

What was your shotguns barrel length ?

[@GoShooting]

30"

[@golflre7179]

Does using a choke reduce the exit speed of the shot?

[@GoShooting]

Not at all.

[@steveheck7754]

Hope that t post didn't scratch the silver pigeon. Lol

[@6079__Smith__W]

The ultimate question is .. what chokes did you use when you competed in OT and DT? :)

[@GoShooting]

3/4 & Full for OT, Half & Full for DT

[@6079__Smith__W]

@@GoShooting Thanks Russ

[@cuda4094]

What about skeet choke

[@TheThunderbird885]

1/2 way between cylinder and 1/4

[@QuickShiftMoto1]

Great idea to show choke pattern only you should pattern at 40 yds. :(

[@GoShooting]

40 yards is only worth doing if you are analysing shot shell performance. Many chokes are not effective at 40 yards.

[@QuickShiftMoto1]

@@GoShooting Well I guess we all should stop shooting sporting clays and trap then! The range and pattern around 40 yards is especially important for sporting clays. HAndicap trap and some clays targets even further This has nothing to do with shell performance but what acceptable patterns are to break targets.

[@GoShooting]

@@QuickShiftMoto1 sadly at 40 yards a Cylinder Choke and Improved Cylinder Choke would need a pattern board larger than the one we own. It would spread nearly two metres wide

[@QuickShiftMoto1]

@@GoShooting You should spend some time and review Gil Ash's testing of the various choke constrictions at various distances with quite interesting outcomes. It's a few years old but it still is one of the most insightful pieces about chokes I have read in my 43 years of competitive shotgunning. www.shootingtimes.com/editorial/longgun_reviews_st_headintheclouds_201002/99884

hi guys,,nice vid,,but it would be nice to show the pattern length at longer ranges, ,or string as we Poms call it ,re choke used. or as we used to call it ,,its now just academic as all my handguns n mag fed guns, even airguns above 12 ft lbs are on firearms Cert. they are banned in our DEMOCRACYY, even though as thats all thats availaable you have some going out and shooting animals at this useless power,,its just injury and pain,,, all previous knowledge is now obsolete as noone knows shit from clay,,,,when we die,,we will once again re-invent the wheel ,,it happens every 30 years or so ,,but thats the piss poor life we lead in ENGLAND,,dont offend anybody,,but even now cant move to Australia ,as you have let the tossers take your rights also,,,so remember ,,if you outlaw guns only outlaws will have them ?,,,Lordbaltimore
