My name is Pavlo. I am a competitive shooter. I am happy to share my experience with practical shooting (IPSC). Please, feel free to ask any relative questions or give your opinion in the comments section.
Hi I like your idea I wanted to know how would you transport the barricades back home as they are bulky , do you have to dis-connect the whole set up or can it fold up to a more compact size to fit in your vehicle. Once again nice idea.
Hi! Sorry, I haven't noticed your comment. I keep this barricade at a shooting range, but I like the way you are thinking. The dismountable barricade might be a good idea for whom can't keep the equipment at a shooting range.
Your information IS probably correct for your perspective. Most common American chokes are I.c. , Mod. , Full & XX-Full. As you illustrated, from your perception; at a shorter fixed distance (< 40 yrds.) pattern diameter shrinks as choke constriction .becomes tighter. By American standards choke values are expressed by standardized percentages of the total shot pellet payload delivered inside a standardized 30 inch circle @ a standardized distance of 40 yards. XX-Full 80-90% Full 70% Modified 60% Improved Cylinder 45% Cylinder 25-35 % In a 200 pellet payload, 140 pellets inside a 30" circle on a target @ 40 yards = Full Choke. Any pellets outside the 30" circle are generally ignored unless calculating an inverse percentage for outside the 30" circle or calculating pellets that totally missed the entire target.
Thank you for your review. Video and audio quality is really good and info's which you provided are in good amount and understandable. Also your English is not bad at all. Maybe when you did a mistake while you are filming your self, try to redo it to avoid cut scenes. Keep going! :)
I use Baikal IZS-27MP 2/76: 1/4 (IC) & 1/2 (M) summer and autumn for dove and for pheasan in sort distance (max 20m). In winter (or long distance 25+ meter ) use 1/2(M) & 1/1 (F) to pheasan, rabbit, and fox.
Good video. Yea, like I was saying in a comment for another, less accurate demonstration video: A truly accurate experiment, test, or demonstration tries to control as many variables as possible, except for the one variable being tested. Using the same shotgun, same ammo (shot size and manufacturer,) same distance to the target, and even the same type of target (paper thickness, etc) are variables in a choke performance test that should be controlled if possible, even if any of them seem trivial. Even doing multiple shots of each shot size, and using the average spread of each size would be helpful to account for variations in ammo rounds, even if from the same manufacturer. Any variation on any of these other variables may affect the accuracy, or reliability, of the results. Of course his was a more casual demonstration, but some of these are simple variables he could have controlled. Also if you were wanting to do a more in depth demonstration, a demonstration of all of the choke sizes would be good; Cylinder Bore (US)/True Cylinder (non US) (no choke as the baseline,) Skeet/Improved Cylinder, Improved Cylinder/Quarter Choke, Modified/Half Choke, Improved Modified/Three-quarters Choke, and Full Choke (both US and non US) Also there are three less common chokes; Light Modified/Three-eighth's Choke, Light Improved Modified/Five-eighth's Choke, and Super Full (both.) And if you wanted to expand further, using different shot sizes up to 000 Buck would be enlightening. But like I said, these are casual demonstrations, and not in depth, scientific demonstrations. Another interesting demonstration would be to show how a rifled choke affects shot. Even though that's not its purpose, it would show why you don't want to use a rifled choke/barrel for shot.
