On the changing chokes deal . . . I find myself in between Stan and Ted. (Which means I'm likely to get crushed from both sides!) Several years back, I had Briley put Thin-Walls in a 16ga Poli. I shot 000/005 for grouse and woodcock; 005/015 for prairie grouse and pheasants. Since I typically start the season on the prairie, then hit the woods for grouse and woodcock, and then hunt pheasants . . . I changed twice, for hunting purposes. Had I gone to TX to hunt quail after the pheasant season, I likely would have changed back to the more open chokes.
You don't understand either, Larry. I don't change choke tubes, I
shoot with guys who do. I shoot a fixed choke MX8 at clays, 98% of the time. I'm not championing changing choke tubes, I'm challenging Ted's statement that nobody changes choke tubes. Ted just thinks he can make blanket statements and everybody will go along with him. Either that or, he doesn't care how wrong he is.
