Hey guys,
Getting ready to compete in a three gun, just picked up a new Mossberg 930 JM Pro Series to upgrade my shotgun. On one of the stages I have to hit 8 clay pigeons and then 2 slug shots out to 75 yards from two different boxes. What choke do you recommend for this? What choke tube do yo typicaly use for steel poppers and clays and does it need to change for the slugs? Do I need rifled slugs or smooth bore slugs to take these two shots? |

You should always make your choke selection based off of the most difficult target in the stage. Most Shooters default choke is a Light Modified or Modified. When Shooting clays I like to open the choke up for a larger pattern so I run a Diffusion, cylinder, Skeet, or improved Cylinder choke. You need to go see if your gun shoots slugs better with you IC or M choke to determine if you can use the open choke for the birds and the slugs or if you need to use the tighter choke for the slugs and suffer with the tighter pattern on the Clays. |
| If you have the means it's very enlightening to go out and pattern your shotgun with various chokes at different distances. It's even better get out and experiment with the various targets you shoot at the matches at different distances and different chokes. It's always good to know how many paces away from the different targets each choke is sufficient for. |
