[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 2377572, member: 6145"] If your ever in tulsa and have time give me a call. We can go to the range and I will show you what to look for regarding 'fit'. yes, correct fit for skeet and trap is a major component. without it your are not shooting where you are looking. a skeet choke pattern at 21 yards from a 12 gauge is about 30 inches, from a 20 about 26 inches. draw a circle about 28 inches in diameter and then draw line to cut it in half and see what size of pattern you have to break a clay bird. not much. if your fit is close but off, you could be easily be loosing 1/2 a pattern. or another way of saying it is half of your pattern will always be high, low, left or right of the bird because of improper fit. My advice would be to guarantee you are shooting skeet with a skeet choke in your shotgun. it is just darn hard with a tighter choke. [/QUOTE]
