nova goose hunter Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Hi i was looking at the black cloud choke tube. It was a long range one, thats what i was looking for, and i was wondering if i could shoot regular shells out of it like 2 3/4 trap loads or 3.5 steel that is not black cloud. would i still get a good pattern? thanks Quote

It should pattern good with standard steel. Find out the restriction and see if it is a mod, full, etc. Quote
TMAC Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 A few shots at the patterning board would be proof, but for trap shooting standard mod or full chokes always seemed to do the job. Quote

jimmi1 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Wow! This is great info! Thanks for your insight. It really helps me to read your column and imagine ways to incorporate all this wisdom into my system. I'm primerally a numbers guy (my hat is off to those who really know horses) Quote
jimmi1 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Lots of guys here like the crossbreed supertucks, Comp-tacs are good, I like high noon holsters as well. I know you can completely conceal a full size 1911 under an unbuttoned over shirt, so gun size shouldn't be an issue unless youre trying to conceal a desert eagle or something. The whole point of carrying concealed is to not let anyone know youre packin. Quote
jimmi1 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Several people are suggesting iwb. I find it very uncomfortable, plus I don't want to get new pants just for carrying. Quote
jimmi1 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 I am new to carrying and luckily I live in a county in California that is easy to get a CCW. I have had to adjust what I wear and how I dress in order to have good retention and concealment. As I have a little more weight than I should I am only able to carry OWB strong side. I am unable to carry IWB as it would be uncomfortable. Quote
Trapshooter1 Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I am thinking about getting some of the new Briley black cloud chokes. Anybody know the restriction? Here is a link: http://briley.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1229 Quote
