All chokes are useful.
I've had to use a full choke on a falling steel plate at 10 yards, because there was a non shoot penalty target a few inches away.
Same thing on an MGM Spinner target, full choke, high brass number 6 shot.
On the converse, if you are breaking clays only at 10 yards, or flying birds only, then use a cylinder/diffuser whatever choke.
If there is heavy steel, you may need to use a tighter pattern to get all of the shot on target to assure a fall.
Sometimes you have to pick an inbetween, like if there are clays, and heavyish steel, then maybe a mod choke.
Each stage is different. Dress for the occasion.

Kyle, is it the second post from the muzzle end?
Including the muzzle attach point it's the 3rd one back.
-
All I have is a stick welder, I do not want to burn thru the barrel!
think I should find someone with a tig setup?
-
It is not broken metal, but the weld popped loose on the 2nd point of attachment on the barrel, and now I have a hump while looking down the rib.
I'll be using this gun in Vegas next week, and it will work, but what repair methods would you consider?
I was thinking of a c-clamp and some silver solder/ torch.
Oh, it's a Salient Benelli M2, probably factory benelli vent rib barrel.

None on windows explorer either....

Practice. It is definitely key to sucess.
With that being said, I bought a jp ctr02, sic titan, and fine tuned my ammo a couple years ago when I started to take this game more seriously. Dot movement was diminished from my carbine setup
Last match my gas system choked when the weather got cold, probably had some carbon buildup also. Cost me half a stage to buy that lesson.
Guess I agree with most others here, but get a good trigger and a comp........then practice.

Considered one berm with a 300 yard reach, or 500 yards if you can. All you really need is a strip to shoot through with long range rifle, then have it open up at the pistol distances you require.
I have my own range. It is split into two locations, I don't have a ranch, but just a few acres to work with.
Pistol berm is only 8 feet tall at my house. Rifle range is accross the street in a hayfield. Again the berm is only about 8 feet there. I mow a strip down the field, and poison a little circle of grass at 50 foot intervals for a quick distance measure, and just shoot prone from between 50-350yds. I don't own the hayfield, but have permission to shoot there, maintain my "shooting ally" and to build the berm in the back. I can't do anything like a bench, cause that would interfere with the hay production.
Good luck, I've got a thread on here somewhere with some construction pics. North facing is great, my pistol bay faces south, but I have large trees around, and behind so it's not a big deal.

Planning on processing 223 brass on the 650 eventually since I have the conversion for it, it's just the thought of gunking up the casefeeder and casefeed tube with case lube that I don't like. Other than that, looking forward to loading 223 much easier.
This is what I do, the lube is a non issue, you'll love it!

Here is most of my 4th place limited run.

Hey bud, im up here in Springhill. Im sure we'll meet up somewhere.

Oh I think we will be able to fine "one" don't you Kelly. Just because I am taking a break from competing with irons doesn't mean I am not shooting irons!
Mark might I point out that no one is shooting real iron sights in tac-iron this season so the results will be skewed towards optics. I wouldn't go as far as to say they dominate until a true iron sight shooter shows up/back up.
An accurate point Kurt. So I guess you and Patrick are saying James and Kelly better keep practicing.
James was a hard act to follow this past weekend. Kuan said it best, "We just wanted to grab hold of that mountain man beard and hang on!" However I did pick up a Prismatic off of the prize table, so I might have to drink that kool-aid myself.
Kurt, I shot irons long before anyone even knew me. I shoulda never got curious about dots, guess it's like that first hit of crack or something. ha ha ha.

I didn't turn in a smoking performance by far, but I was in the most relaxed mindset I've been in for a long while.
I had a real blast shooting this match! Thanks to all that made it happen.
Great Job! -
OH NO! I'm out of checks! Can I send in my app, and please please let me send in a check when they get here from my bank?
-
What is the range layout? I've never been there, is it better to bring a cart, or drive stage to stage?
Sorry if this is already answered somewhere, my search fu came up short.
-
That is the exact model I compete with, XPS2-2. Whatever you get, practice with it!

Get the two dot, only use the bottom of the circle for 0-7 yards
zero the center dot for 250 yards, bottom dot is good for 25 and 500. At least with my load, and I've been running EoTechs for years.
Dot is 1 moa in size. I do not use a magnifier.
-
1" low at 25 yards is always my starting point for a proper zero.
-
I'm a solo EoTech guy myself, if it goes down, I'm out. But, in 6 years of playing with them, I've never had one fail (knocking on wood), and only changed batteries twice.
-
Not exactly sure if this brass is "healthy" as it is more copper colored, than that new yellow color.
Any info on what I did here? I plan on loading some and testing it out, I'm just scratching my head here.
What it supposed to look like on left, what it did after 12 hour tumble with lemi-shine/soap on right.
-
Heard it somewhere.. I've used it several times to overcome this and that.
"Do the f'ckn work."

My younger brother's first year of college (same school as me), my mom would call me and ask how he was doing. I'd always reply, "At the bars, got drunk last night, skipping class cause he is partying" Really he was doing fine. Well, come April 1st, I called mom up early morning, "Yep I need bail money, Buba got a DWI" She was pretty hot when I busted out the "April Fools!"

some side stuff videos.

Well, I shot horrible, but had lots of fun. I'll be back (to redeem myself).
Patterning and chokes for 3 gun

Maybe I over answered the question, I just thought of some examples when I did switch out chokes.
My mod lives in my shotgun, any others just visit now and then.
