Shotgun and sporting clay newbie questions

Dave, I think your full of crap. LOL. They are supposed to be trying another Brock Jones shoot next month, I think I am going to blow the dust off that 391 and go play. Come give me some more lessons.

Sounds like a plan. Haven't been to shoot at Ft Hood since the last Brock Jones shoot.

They all seem pretty close to what you listed. Your .014 choke is actually closer to light mod than mod. I would imagine the Turkey choke is extremely tight. I couldn't see a constriction listed on it like the others. You will not need the turkey choke for clays and probably rarely the full but the others will do just fine. They will work just as well as any aftermarket choke(wouldn't be surprised if they were made for Remington by Briley).

I appreciate the help. Based off what you're telling me I think I'll pick up a modified and an improved modified to round it out. Not quite sure who makes remingtons pro bore chokes but I hope you're right on them being quality.

Briley makes a lot of chokes for gun manufacturers. I know they make Brownings chokes. When I change a choke(rarely ever), I make a drastic change. Going up or down just one constriction really isn't making much difference in my opinion. I generally stick to light mod for everything. I bet I haven't changed from it three times in over 6000 targets. The main thing in my opinion is confidence. If your worried the choke your using is wrong then by all means change it to one you're confident will work.

Browning Citori 725 Sporting. Best O/U shotgun I've ever owned. I shoot quite a bit, and am usually scoring in the 86-90 range these days.

Just curious hardtner, what did you end up doing?

Your 101 is fine, buy 1oz loads 1140 to 1250 fps. Dont buy the exspensive shells they are a waist of money. There is a great sporting clays course in lufkin, I think it's called Pines sporting clays. Also chokes are way over rated, don't worry about what choke you are shooting, just focus on they clay your eyes are where everything starts and stops with sporting clays. Do not take your eyes off the clay.
