Doubles

What two chokes do you guys use for shooting doubles and in what barrel top or bottom

[lefty o]

trap double i use an IM in the bottom barrel which i shoot first, and a LF in the top. im only a fair to middlin doubles shooter, so my advice may not be worth a dang.

For skeet, I use just two cylinder chokes. 

 

For double trap, light mod first, then improved mod on top. 

 

For sportibg clays, it depends on the array. 

 

I tend to use less choke than others do. Works better with the lighter payloads I prefer. 

 

In 12 gauge I use 3/4 ounce claybuster wads for targets under 35 yards. 1 ounce for everything else. 

 

For 20 gauge, it's 3/4 ounce for everything. 

 

If course smaller shot size for close targets. Larger for longer ranges.

For practice, full over full. For competition I use the same. If im going to miss, it won't be Because of the wrong choke. 

 I like 1oz #8 or #9 at 1200fps. More shot the better and 9's will break em from the 22 yard line as well.

i use mod in the bottom barrel (.020") and full in the top barrel (.035").  2-3/4 dram 8s for both shots unless its real windy. Then i shoot 3 dram 7-1/2s. I like the new Federal Grand shell for ATA shoots and what ever i got laying around for practice. I am a AA- 27- A dbls. shooter. All i can say is the faster you can shoot the better, good luck.

there is no doubt in my mind you are correct with the faster you shoot the better. it sucks chasing the 2nd target down. LOL

M bottom barrel, IM top barrel. Don't look for the first target to break before moving to the second (you hit it or you didn't - you don't get a second chance) and the IM should be fine. Like I've heard said - there's no extra credit for smoke.

First bird   shoot it when u see it.use very little movement.look for 2nd bird. 

first bird mod to  IM. then lf to full

I have found that 0.20/0.25 in lower bbl (fires first) then 0.34 in upper bbl is a good combination that works well for me. If you are on the clay it will break. This choke combination also leaves you open to shoot live birds with the same gun.

Mod on the first target and full on the second. shoot the first target as fast as you can

so you can roll on to the second BEFORE it starts to fall fast.

MOD and IC in top and bottom respectively

Are you shooting top barrel first?

[inkballedtarget]

I use IM LF, I dont know that it makes much difference one way or another.

yes for top barrel first

Trap full/full - Skeet O/U skt/skt. At skeet I shoot both a SxS  which has cyl and M, and whether SxS or O/U I don't have a first shot barrel preference.

I like to use modified in the bottom barrel and light full in the top. Bottom barrel is always first with me.
