So I'm a little bit stumped right now.. I recently purchased a Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon 20 gauge with 30" barrels.. I've been having a great deal of difficulty shooting consistent skeet scores with it, breaking 20 birds was the best I could do and most rounds were yielding 18-19.. The gun was giving me such a fit that I had it patterned.. It turns out that the point of impact on both barrels was near perfect but the pattern quality was not great with the Beretta factory skeet mobile choke, choke tubes.. I was told to try it with an I/C choke installed to see if it improved my scores.. With the I/C chokes in the gun I picked up four birds right away, and shot a 23.. Although not the 25 I want, that 23 is a vast improvement over what I was doing with the gun...
Now here's my question to those that know more than me... Why in the heck would a tighter choke improve my scores shooting American skeet?? Is the pattern quality possibly that much better?? Did I possibly get a bad set of skeet chokes from Beretta?
This darn gun is giving me a headache just thinking about it
