US12455141 - Method and system for estimating the position of the point of impact between a clay target released from a launching machine and a shot fired from the shotgun, choke selection based on said estimate

A method for selecting a choke from among a plurality of chokes to be applied to a barrel of a shotgun during a skeet shooting session is provided. The method involves firing at least one shot, after each shot fired, estimating a position of a point of impact between a clay target released from a launching machine and a shot fired from the shotgun of a shooter, calculating an impact distance between a position of the shooter and the estimated position of the point of impact, and selecting the choke as a function of the impact distance or of an average of impact distances obtained from a plurality of estimates of positions of the point of impact made after each one of a plurality of shots.
