Krieghoff Chokes -- Isn't This Kind of Odd?

I'm basically a FULL choke guy. 98% of all the targets I've broken in my life were shot with a FULL or EXTRA FULL choke. But as my eyes get older I occasionally consider flirting with the sin of infidelity. Imagine my surprise while surfing gunporn on the Krieghoff website and discovering that they offer a LIGHT IMPROVED MODIFIED choke tube ...but no LIGHT FULL! Now I am forced to defile my saintly K-Gun with an unholy Briley tube!

NINE choke tube options and no LF? What the heck are those crazy Germans thinking?

Try the light improved modified it crunches targets

 

Thanks but I'm straight.

A wise man once said that when trapshooting use any choke you want as long as it's full.
Need I say more?

 

I agree with santafe. light full is in a sense........IM-modified. thats what ive always known for decades.

 

I've been using a Light I/M for the 2nd shot of Doubles. Seems to work well........

Krieghoff imp/mod is 30 thou that is light full in anyone's thinking

 

Krieghoff Imp/mod works great for me -- patterns tighter than my C.G light full

 

Terry, that's a GREAT point. Plus I already have one of those gathering dust. I shall give it a try. Thanks!

Choke tubes are the work of the devil.
They spread false hope and create doubt.

Thanks Gus

 

Roy, What averages did you hold with your choice of chokes? Roger C.

 

96+, but at least I knew I never missed a target that wasn't my fault. Perhaps not my wisest decision, but I took Big Leo's advice to heart. After all, how could anyone not respect what that legend had to say?

 

OP: Surely you have better things to do than develop angst over the difference between Improved Modified and Light Full constriction? LOL If you need things to occupy your time; when you get the Briley Light full tube, do some extensive pattern testing comparing it to the Krieghoff IM and F tubes. Please share the results here so we won't spend sleepless nights contemplating the results!

 

I won’t lose any sleep thinking about why you felt you had to take a swipe at the guy with the sarcasm but I don’t like it.

 

I don't understand either why he had to throw shade at Roy D.

I think Roy was legitimately seeking some input and it didn't warrant a response like that.

 

A bit of light comedy was apparently mistaken to be mean spirited; far from it. Free drinks for all.

 

never take out my 2+ choke smokes all the way back

 

The 27 yd. line and more open chokes may work at places where target visibility is better than others. Adding a few more yards needed to see targets might require a tighter choke.

 

I am only 23 yard cap but in my KX6 special I use the 2+ or LIM .025 choke for everything, it crushes them I have a 3 and a 4 but they have never been in the gun except one night at practice, went back to the 2+

 

Wouldn't a Light Improved Modified actually be...for all intents and purposes... a Modified?
I mean, 5 (mod) + 2 (IM) - 2(LM) still = 5 (mod)??

If Kreighoff offers an IMod wouldn't that be close enough to Light Full to do the job quite nicely? If you're afraid it isn't, just pull the trigger two-tenths of a second quicker.

I wonder if Kolar owners face this same dilemma?

 

As Terry Jordan astutely pointed out,

Problem solved.

 

Krieghoff chokes are in the increment of 5 thousandths. I would suspect that Briley's are the same. The Kreighoff IM is 30 thhousandths which is light full by most manufacturers standards.

 

When I shot Kreighoff I used the IM choke all the time. With STS light Handicap and #8 shot I rolled 25 up in a ball.
PS I was a lot younger then. LOL. That was from the 30 yrd. line. Roger C.
