Looking to get extended Midas choke tubes. I typically set for top barrel then bottom barrel. Don't know if that is the general rule or not. Guess it becomes personal preference. Mostly doves and pheasants. Thought is Improved (25-55%) on the top and Improved Modified (45-75%) on the bottom.
My personal thought at distance of skeet targets it makes not much difference in choke. Now once you get out to 40 yards, which I hesitate to shoot birds at that distance then it can make a difference. I do believe sometimes it's up to the shooter, and the skill level that they have. I'm a pretty fast shooter so a skeet choke works most of the time. Now pen raised and wild birds are two different things. Ask Win7stw what his average shot distance is on those wild pheasant.
I have a 20ga Citori I mainly use on dove. My gun has the standard invector chokes. I use the improved cylinder in the lower and modified in the top. If I am shooting pheasants I used the improved and full chokes. 7 1/2 or 8 shot on dove, #6 on pheasants.
I shoot Carlson's modifieds in all of my Brownings that have removable chokes. Best all around patterning that I have found for field loads on the birds I hunt #2 for geese, #4 for ducks, #6 for pheasants. Your mileage may vary. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
