Jimmy,
Great to hear from you. I expected you to be the first to comment on my light 21. I had not been on the board for a while; I go in cycles and a lot of work going on. In addition to my bird hunting and actuarial work I opened a small tractor place, redid the old farm house on my hunting place and time has been short. Haven't been to Louisville since you and I met. How is retirement treating you?
I have been doing my thing with my 28's, but I took a closer look at this light 21 that I had sold conditionally and for some reason it appealed to me more than before. Maybe it is age related.
I'm looking forward to hunting with this light 21 with WS chokes some more to verify my thoughts on it. All I know is I shot well with it with less effort and more enjoyment than with any other gun I have shot for a long time (including my Parker and Ithaca 28's). Now I know that shooting well is more related to the shooter than the gun or chokes, but some guns are much easier to shoot well with that comforable feeling that just makes you feel good all over carrying the gun and shooting it.
I am aware that the WS1 is close to a tight skeet or light improved cylinder with a buggle added at the end and the WS2 is in fact a traditional modified, but based on the small amount of patterning I did (two shots, one at 20 yards and one at 25 yards) and my hunting, I think that WS1 opens up quicker and holds together better than the regular tight skeet or light improved cylinder. During the next few weeks I plan to pattern the WS1 extensively at varying distances and I will share my results.
Thanks everyone for your input on these chokes. I assumed someone knew or had experience with these chokes to either confirm my feelings or tell me I was just dreaming.
