Grew up with a father that was in a National skeet squad and this was often a training tool used. Get the accuracy up with tight chokes and open up when in competition. The lucky breaks from a couple of pellets make all the difference once the smaller pattern has improved accuracyQuote:

My first 25 was at Kaikohe on the weekend.
Skeet comp at Whangarei March 5 I think. Check out the latest club schedule in the new yellow booklet.

Got 05/03 marked in my diary.:thumbsup:
I first had a go at clay shooting a few years ago at a friends and nailed it first go, but when I thought I would give it a try now I havent had much luck getting hits, especially clean ones that turn them to dust.
Not sure what im doing wrong, but Im using a different gun, ive got a 12G remington 1100 with an open cylinder, so no choke.
Im trying to source an interchoke barrel for it.
I have no idea what choke my friends gun had at the time, but it was only a 20 gauge and I was hitting most targets with no effort.
Gun fit has a HUGE influence on your success. I'm not a guru, just do it casually. If you are near a club it's worth talking to experienced people about gun fit and seeing if you can shoulder a few different guns with them to see what fits bestQuote:

Different ammo and chokes can pattern to a different place even if the gun feels great
