I purchased the X-Full last season prior to some shooting buddies and I going to shoot some international trap. We went and shot a few rounds of it and what a humbling experience but fun it was. It was recommend from guys on here and at the club to have. I used it but can’t say that it made a difference vs. the full. I never patterned it. But I did have targets that I had to break with the second shot and had it in and broke them.
To me it’s worth having, buy it at the best price you can find. At the other end of the spectrum pick up a cylinder also, at least one. I think you’ll find the X-Full might come handy if guys at the club come up with some types of odd game shoots that you’ll need the full or X-Full to touch them. I do want to put mine on paper and compare them.

Thanks Spanky, Yes it would be used for when the games get way behind the trap house. In the past full chokes have worked fairly well but I probably should try an xtra full. If you do any pattern testing please post the results. Thanks, Jimmie

The next time I go to COSTCO with the old lady I’ll pick up some cardboard slip sheets and pattern it.
I had mentioned about the cylinder tubes but didn’t realize at the time you were shooting a CXT-XT. You’ll probably never use that. Don’t hesitate to pick up a Lt. Full if you see one floating around cheap. I use that more than full because my handicap yardage is short. Most of the time I have to shoot that sportsman class (21, 22, or 23 yds) generally they call it that. I just picked up a Midas Spreader for rabbits. Used but looks like new. Can’t wait for a close rabbit station to try it. I could be wrong on price but bought my X-Full new on line from Bud’s and it was $41.00, pretty sure. Didn’t think it was a steal but a lot better than I thought price was for it factory new.
I’m not a Choke Tube Expert, I don’t have any complaints with the Midas Series. I’ve put a lot of lead and wads through the Silver Stainless Browning/Briley Extended Sporting type tubes also. I have no complaints with that series either.
Any problem I have shooting is certainly not the choke tubes, the wooden block between my shoulder blades.
