Title: Different chokes
Post by: huntinhard on March 16, 2011, 11:46:11 PM
Is anybody out there changing chokes during the season? What I'm thinking is, if I know i am gonna hunt woodsy stuff and be shooting kinda close I would go with a more open choke and pattern from my jellyhead and then if I were gonna be chasing pasture birds I could use a tighter choke like a pure gold for a little more effective range. Ideas?

i will be carrying the hevi 3in magblends for the open woods and fields and the win high velocity #5 for the thick woods depends on where the birds are roosted on which one i put in the tube. my pg 670 shoots them both perfectly for either given situation :you_rock:

I'll carry differant shells. Hevi 6 for the longer shots and winn lead 4 for the ridge birds. Both shells shoot very well out of the same choke.

I don't bother.  About the only thing I change during the season is my underwear...occasionally.

Same here.....I just shoot at different ranges to know EXACTLY what my set up is doing at different yardages.

I would not change chokes.  Now that is not smart to say that because I build chokes.  ???  The thing is that it not smart to change I would just say shoot lead at 40 and in and go heavy if you go more then 40.
