2. Choke (firearms) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_(firearms)

   A choke is designed to alter or shape the distribution of the shot as it leaves the firearm. For shooting most game birds and clay pigeons, a desirable pattern is one that is as large as possible while being dense enough to ensure multiple hits on the target, at a particular range.

3. Skeet shooting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeet_shooting

   Often, shooters will choose an improved cylinder choke (one with a tighter pattern) or a skeet choke (one with a wider pattern), but this is a matter of preference. Some gun shops refer to this type of shotgun as a skeet gun. Skeet chokes are designed to produce a 30 inch shot pattern at 21 yards.

4. Shotgun - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun

   Shotguns intended for all-round hunting are a compromise, but a 72 to 74 cm (28–29 in) barrel pump-action 12-gauge shotgun with a modified choke can serve admirably for use as one gun intended for general all-round hunting of small-game such as quails, rabbits, pheasants, doves, and squirrels in semi-open wooded or farmland areas in many ...

5. Shotgun cartridge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_cartridge

   For older shotguns having only one fixed choke, intended primarily for equally likely use against rabbits, squirrels, quail, doves, and pheasant, an often-chosen choke is the improved cylinder, in a 28 inches (710 mm) barrel, making the shotgun suitable for use as a general all-round hunting shotgun, without having excess weight.

6. Slug barrel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_barrel

   With an open choke, the reduction in diameter is minimal, so accuracy does not suffer much; tighter chokes, however, deform the slug enough to impact accuracy significantly, and the impact of the slug on the choke (at velocities around 450 meters per second (1500 feet per second)) could also stretch the barrel with repeated firings.

7. Browning Citori - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browning_Citori

   Browning Citoris come in all of the popular shotgun shell gauges, and are made in an over-under "stacked" barrel configuration, with forends and buttstocks made from high quality walnut wood. Barrel lengths can be purchased from 26 inches (66 cm) for skeet shooting to 32 inches (81 cm) for sporting clays and trap shooting. The top barrel has a ...

8. Five stand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_stand

   After shooting at the 5 birds on the menu at that station, the shooter proceeds to the next stand, where they find a new menu of 5 targets. Typical five stand targets are a rabbit, chandelle, overhead, standard skeet high house and low house shots, teal (launched straight up into the air), trap (straight ahead from ground level), and an ...

9. Clay pigeon shooting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_pigeon_shooting

   Clay pigeon shooting, also known as clay target shooting, is a shooting sport involving shooting at special flying targets known as "clay pigeons" or "clay targets" with a shotgun. Despite their name, the targets are usually inverted saucers made of pulverized limestone mixed with pitch and a brightly colored pigment.
