High Spade Mikey Wilson 319 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I use Improved Cylinder chokes on all my SxS shotguns. It goes back to my Sporting Clay shooting days when that was my preferred choke at shorter distances. Link to post Share on other sites
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 896 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 We sometimes shoot popup shotgun targets where the bird, briquet, or soda can is engaged at fairly close distances. I prefer as open a choke as possible to make hitting the popup easiest. I currently shoot a SxS with straight cylinders. When shooting these targets with a fixed choke Stoeger SxS I shot the popup with the Imp Cyl barrel. For standard knockdown targets more constricted chokes perform well.

Colorado Coffinmaker 3,579 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 With most targets at 10 - 12 yards, Chokes in yer shotgun are about like a Drag Chute on a Turtle. Cylinder bore works just fine. Link to post Share on other sites

irish ike, SASS #43615 1,269 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 None, cylinder bore. Link to post Share on other sites
John Boy 925 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 At the distances for shot gun plates, unless one is a poor shotgun shooter ... any choke will work equally Link to post Share on other sites
Diamond Jake 359 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I use IC and Mod on my SXS, but mostly because I use the same gun for hunting. It's tough to hit a squirrel 35 ft up in a tree that;s 20 yards away when using no choke. If I had a shotgun solely for SASS, I'd have cylinder bore on both barrels. Link to post Share on other sites
Equanimous Phil 288 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 There are a couple of threads about chokes on the Wire, here's one of them. Equanimous Link to post Share on other sites
Turkey Flats Jack 625 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 cylinder bore for shotshells that have a modern wad. for my brass hull BP shotshells that I load with fiberwads I like to use modified or full depending on the distance to targets. some ranges have pretty heavy targets set out at a good distance.

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 2,940 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 No choke will make an improvement if you are not aiming close to the target. In fact, a poor shooter will get a few more hits with a cylinder choke (no choke at all), since it provides perhaps an inch wider pattern at 10 yards. Good luck, GJ Link to post Share on other sites
Marshal TKD, Sass # 36984L 176 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Chokes? We don’t need no stinking chokes. Link to post Share on other sites
Castalia,SASS#18915 91 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Heck, I'll answer this question. I always choke when the target is moving. Castalia Link to post Share on other sites
