It worked out so I figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I posted in another thread that I killed 14 that day, the most I've ever killed at once. a couple I knocked stone cold dead at 60 steps - there was a dead tree about 60 steps down the tree line from me, and they kept flying toward it. I tagged them about 15ft out from the tree as they were heading to it.



We're all friends here, you don't have to make up a story about shooting them "right before" they lit in the tree. grin

I use a 12oz. By that I mean I sit and drink beer and laugh at the guys missing them. I can tear up a sporting clays course or quail, but can't hit a dove to save my life.

Full choke for me. The tree landers rain feathers but the flyers don't get torn up as bad as you'd think.
