Far too many years of shooting NSSA Skeet has made a 35 yard shot at a Pheasant seem incredibly long to me!! I shot a lot of NSSA registered Skeet with 12- and 20-gauge Model 12s that started life as Field Grades on which I had the barrels whacked to 26-inches and Simmons ribs installed. I posted enough 100 straights with those two guns to know that choke certainly isn't needed at Skeet ranges with plastic shot cup shells.
