Sporting Barrels on Miroku

[chippy]

the other thing to think about is comparing sporting and trap is like comparing F1 to drag racing. ie put a F1 driver in a dragster and within a few runs he would be competitive but the other way round he would still be nowhere is 12 months time.

Trapshooters: Like footballers that can only take penalties.

You are totally missing the point. To use your own examle . You wouldnt put an F1 driver in a drag race with an F1 car because he would be anialated.  And you wouldnt put an drag racer in a drag racing car on the monaco circuit again because he wouldnt stand a chance in that car . (Would be funny though   ) 

In the same way you wouldnt have someone using a skeet gun on ball trap or a trap gun on skeet . 

Why would i choose to use a gun designed to keep the pattern together and hit far away targets on targets that are 15 yrds from me  . Thats why i was asking about putting on multi choke barrels .

Shooting the same targets with a beretta 690 sporting i can destroy the same targets that are very difficult to hit with my miroku trap gun . Yes its still possible to git them but its harder . 

Tools for the job.

I think chippy assumes the driver would be in the right car. It's skill set he's on about..

Haha i know just trying to get my initial question across .

So is your plan to use more open chokes for sporting or choke fiddle between stands? Most common choke setup for sporting is probably 1/4 and 1/2 which is only two constrictions away from what you have now. I ran 1/2 and 1/2 for ages to remove the desire to switch between barrels. Currently running 3/8 and 1/2. Many of the top shots are running tight chokes I believe. So if you are hitting 80% + already ( assuming you mean in competition and not practice etc) then not sure why you would want to open up.

I have twice had it proved to me that tight chokes do not harm your ability to shoot Sporting targets.

I was shooting Sportrap at Orston with my gun which was multichoke with two quarters in it. During a break we were discussing chokes and their effect and what a minefield the choke syndrome was with sizes and makes all making up the variables.

One of the assembly said he would lend me a gun to try for my next round but wouldn't tell me its choking. I shot a slightly better score with it than my own gun. The gun was a trap gun that I could see more rib on than my own gun and it was choked 3/4 and full.

On another occasion while shooting sporting at Grimsthorpe when choke was being discussed I shot a stand with a borrowed gun and shot very well with it. It too was a trap gun with chokes 3/4 and full. At that point I finally lost interest in financing the choke makers next Range Rover and stuck with 1/2 and 1/2.
