I love cylinder for skeet and close to medium range preserve birds, but on western covey rises of huns and chukars at range (30-45 yds), I've shot cyl/full choked guns and found that I scored most of my kills with the full choked left barrel, and many misses with the cyl barrel. As stated earlier, it all depends on the what, where,and how far. Cylinder for everything is just nonsensical imo.
