Note:
all shotguns shoot differently, even identical models, so this
advice is not 100% guaranteed for YOUR
shotgun. You may have to change chokes and/or ammunition to
get the best performance from your gun. |

| Tips:
1. If you're new to the
sport, we recommend that you have at least 3 chokes Cylinder,
Light Modified and Light Full to cover the various
ranges of shots you will encounter.
2. If your budget is limited, start with 2 chokes Skeet
and Modified.
Then fill in with the chokes you need as you
become more experienced, matching the
chokes more closely with the ranges you will be
shooting. |
