I'll side with the late T. Nash Buckingham for tighter chokes- in his great article "The Dove"- he states: "You've about had all the thrills wingshooting can offer when you crumple up an overhead passing dove with the full pattern of your load"-- You don't get that "crumple" and the float of feathers after the deceased bird hits the ground, and hopefully, bounces once or twice from the impact of the deadfall-- like it flew into a brick wall at Mach 3- wowie!!
