I am a little upset with myself for starting this thread because I have great respect for Larry Brown and Michael McIntosh, not only as great outdoors writers, but because I value their opinions on matters of shooting in general. They may very well be correct regarding this issue of cylinder choke as adequate for most upland birds. This being America, however, I felt I should exercise my right to 'freedom of speech' on this issue, and as an experienced upland hunter, felt qualified to question this issue. In the final analysis, I think both Larry and Michael could be right, but I still wonder. For now, I am going to keep a little choke in my right or under barrel until I am thoroughly convinced otherwise. Buzz
Sooner or later, you may come around . . . but you'll actually have to shoot the Cylinder bore to get there.
