[QUOTE="OKCHunter, post: 4032160, member: 8534"] I shoot Registered Skeet - 3 or 4 thousand targets a year, more than that a few years ago to make NSSA and OSSA minimums for State and National teams (I never made a National Team). I couldn’t tell you how many targets I shoot each year when including practice rounds. I shoot a Krieghoff K-80 with skeet chokes in both barrels for all gauges (12, 20, 28, and .410b). For skeet, 20g is more than enough and that’s what I use in doubles, 12g, and 20g events. I have not tried a cylinder size choke but could see a potential benefit since all breakpoints (except when possibly shooting the 2nd bird in doubles at station 4) are 21 yards or less. I do know guys that swap out the skeet choke in the second barrel with an IC or LM when shooting doubles at station 4. Regarding learning / training - Get the DVDs from Todd Bender and / or Paul Giambrone. I have taken private lessons from both and I also have their DVDs. You won’t find better instructors. [/QUOTE]
