I do NOT need tight patterns, I need WIDE patterns to be able to hit something smile

But really I normally hunt with cyl, skeet, or IC guns. On some of the double guns it is IC/MOD.

With steel shot IC/MOD seems the norm.

For birds behind dogs open chokes is good

For turkey, I like to get them inside 20 yards, what a thrill.

I sure do wish I were younger, the NID 10 gauge is NOT used for pheasants anymore, my arms stretch down to my feet shocked

p.s. I do resize my brass hulls with specially made arbor dies. Would hate to get in the field and have
one stick, PLUS I like the KLUNK sound when they chamber.
