Barrel is full choked. Cant wait to shoot this thing later today. But I was wondering do any of yall still use one? Should be nice squeezing this trigger compared to my Charles daly wth the 3 1/2 in shells

I took it to a dove shoot once and shot it twice about 5 years ago.. And then proceeded to put it back down. My shoulder still hurts. There are two rules for success: 1.
