azfred Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 What chokes do you normally carry or is there just one you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 IC-LM-M-F. 90% of the time I run LM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amccallister Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Diffuser, Skeet, IC, LM, M, IM, and Full. I use the Light Mod probably 80% of the time, but I like to be ready for anything. If you're on a budget, I'd say an IC, LM, and Mod will get you through just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Happy Gila Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 LM, XF & D for me, but you can get by without the Diffuser no problem by shooting the gun unchoked. 90% of the time, I run LM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead-Head Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 IC and Mod is all you really "need". And you have to aim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy2 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I carry Improve modified, modified, light modified, improve cylinder, Skeet and cylinder. I use light modified 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshxdm9 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Full, modified, improved cylinder, light modified, 95% of the time light modified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLD Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I used to have a cylinder bore. I had to shoot pretty stout loads with the largest shot allowed to knock down steel at any distance. Usually 1 1/4 oz. it was nice to see two plates go down at once on a plate rack. I had it threaded and only have a modified which has worked fine. My o/u clay gun has two of each. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy2 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I only use cylinder on a course with all clay birds if there is any steel in the course of fire the lightest I will go is IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblock455 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) IC, LM, IM, Full I use LM 50%, IC and IM 25% each. Full one stage a year maybe. Edited March 6, 2015 by bigblock455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just FYI, chokes are not universal. Mod does not produce the same size pattern in every platform. Changing the brand or type of shell can also be equivalent to one choke size difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Never change chokes in subtle little steps in 3-gun. The change from light mod is basically insignificant either to Modified or Improved cylinder. Go in big steps! an IC and a full would be just ducky....I have always just run a Light Modified and not worried about changing. If a target is so hard to knock over with an IC I would never just swap to a mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I use Light Full (0.030"), Light Mod (0.015"), and Skeet (0.005") in my M2. That means LM about 80% of the time, LF about 15% of the time (hard or far steel), and SK rarely (all close clays and maybe big, easy steel). My slugs are zeroed at 50yds with LM but are almost indistinguishable with the other chokes at that distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azfred Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I went with light mod and an ic for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moltke Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Kurt, so you think if a light mod isn't going to knock some hard set steel down then what, change the load instead of the choke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Kurt, so you think if a light mod isn't going to knock some hard set steel down then what, change the load instead of the choke? Get closer or Prairie Storm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I don't carry any heavy loads with me ever, I've never had any trouble with a light mod and a 31/4 DRAM 11/8th ounce Federal Gold Medal match ammo. Never saw the use in a prairie storm outside of laughing at the poor guys who torch one or two off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacMan Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Light Mod and Full are the only two I carried in the bag. Kurt is probably still laughing at me for trying to make the spinner rotate in one shot with #4 turkey load & F choke (shot it too high all 3 times, just about knock the d@mn thing off its stand has to do with POI shift due to payload differences or something only Mr Weak Hand would know.)
