Honestly I was coming down here to say the same thing. Charts, tables, counting thousands of tiny fucking holes- there was a great deal of effort put into this video and it very much reminded me of stuff ive seen paul discuss. Now if only we could get a Thanksgiving special with Matt and ivan bbqing iguanas over an old 55 gal drum.
Honestly I clicked this video because I had nothing else to watch while eating but this actually turned out really nice. It's informative in an easy to process way, even my tiny smooth brain could understand shotgun chokes and some of the elements to skeet and trap shooting with this video.
Been doing the same over the past few years. From ARs and Glonks through barricades to big bore revolvers and black powder. Still want the end of the NFA lol
Excellent presentation. Very informative and entertaining. I agree with your assessment, it's important to provide these technical demonstrations for new and experienced shooters alike. I shoot trap occasionally for recreation and have a couple of good bird dogs I hunt pheasant with. Thank you for providing others with your knowledge. Please keep doing what you're doing.
Excellent video, Ivan! I think this is the first time I've seen anyone do a detailed step-by-step demo of the various constrictions. Thank you! I'd love to see one using double-ought some time...especially since we moved to bear country a while back, and they do seem to love our neighborhood, and I've got two kids. "Making do" with a 458 SOCOM AR at the moment, but I haven't managed to work out the feeding problems yet, and I KNOW my Maverick will eat anything I feed it reliably.
Very well timed video considering Pheasant Season is right around the corner! Need to check which choke I've got in my shotty, it's been awhile since I've thought about it.
For tactical applications, no reason not to. For sporting applications, you'll frequently need to lead a moving target by enough that the target will be outside of the window on many dots. So the solution becomes mounting the dot extremely close to your eye to amplify the field of view through the window, or use something with a huge window. Definitely planning a video to mess with this eventually.
In my non-expert, exclusively hunting and clay experience, dots at best don't add anything, and at times are detrimental to your shooting. Shotguns are not precision weapons, so a dot really doesn't do anything a bead doesn't do better. A circle dot is a small improvement, but the circle will not give you a realistic representation of spread except at very specific distance. So if it's just used for ball parking, it does nothing a bead doesn't do. The only real utility I have seen a dot prove is for people new to shotguns, but come from rifles, to kind of start getting comfortable with the idea of a shotgun. Once people get the basics down, I have never seen anyone stick with a dot.
have a few shotguns I’ve rebuilt a couple from older parts,have a older Power-PAC choke system on one ,it’s kinda close to the Lyman’s choke used by Remington on model 11.
I'd almost be curious to see finer gradations of choke to see if it conforms to a linearly increasing progression or if it conforms to more of a sigma pattern graph.
Bead height/size is one option, yes. Taller ribs (and more angled ribs) is sort of the more accepted way to address it. Some setups even have adjustable ribs.
Need more shotgun videos on guntube in general, imo. I guess shottys just aren't sexy, but I have never heard anyone make a good argument against one for home defense or general civillian use as opposed to literally any other weapon.
@@V3RTIGO222 can, but you introduce ammo feed concerns with most semi, minis youre trading power for recoil (when throwing a chunk across the room with feeling is the single greatest strength of the shotty), and then you get to the reliability of box mags, ammo weight per shot, theres a lot i love about shotguns, but there are drawbacks to be sure
@@astarothk2273 As with any gun..Minis are really only more useful when a tube mag is your limitation, and they are preferable for pumps due to that reliablity concern - and recoil is reduced in all semi-auto shotguns anyways, so the main concern would be the capacity of a tube fed semi... and I would actively choose a box mag fed semi at that point.
I have a very loud and obnoxious friend who always has a one up story. Well today and school he waddled up to me and says "have you seen Benellis new chokes that increase velocity at 100yards by 60%?" I laughed and sayed thats impossible, we spent the next class period looking through the ad and Im still convinced its completely fake.
Very Paul Harrell esque video, good information that I’ve mostly forgotten because I don’t dove or waterfowl hunt anymore

Okie Dokie I'm watching Ivan turn into a fud in real time lmao
Okie dokie artichokie...get it *Art of choking lol grandpa jokes

I am watching Ivan turn into a fudd in REAL LIFE !!!
I want to see some content on #4 buck and 00 in buckshot specific chokes.
This would be interesting

My dad had a Browning A5 "Sweet 16" with the Polychoke, I always thought that was a cool concept.
Finally, dude, you touched down another cooked-up in the lab excellent production decimal, laser.
Informative stuff. Good to watch as everything around you is flooding bc hurricane.
If only ive had access. Do love learning. Thanks.

Any reason why you wouldn't put a red dot on the shotgun other than traditions ?

I love you Ivan!
What an articulate rat! Excellent and informative video! Thanks Ivan!
Hi ivan i was wondering if ecm was still the viablw way to make gun barrels? All of your old post and documents are no lomger available
So... FGC-12 when?
On a more serious note, I'm not a shotgun fan, I much prefer shooting pistols, but this was still a pretty interesting video.
Liberator12k is what you want.
Menards and home depot have a pretty good selection of pipes...
@@1SmokedTurkey1 Has anyone actually printed one of those? I've only seen videos from the creator.
I have an A5 with an aftermarket choke and it patterns super wide for some reason.
From my experience, buck shot through a turkey choke results in a more irregular and wide pattern than when shot through a cylinder bore.
I got a Mossberg 200k with an adjustable choke. Had no idea what it was when I got it, just say a $100 and couldnt say no lol
Will you try 3d printed shotgun ?
If not why ?
Do taller beads exist to change the ratio?
Bead height/size is one option, yes. Taller ribs (and more angled ribs) is sort of the more accepted way to address it. Some setups even have adjustable ribs.
Neat

they do kick like a mule so followup is more sketchy, maybe once psa releases their lego shotgun youll see more build vids
@@astarothk2273 Yes and no, short shells do wonders and semi-auto shotguns can have pretty low recoil impulse.
