I'm going out this weekend with my father-in-law to shoot some trap and would like some recommendations on which choke to use. This will be a 'fun' outting and he and I have hunted together for 3-4 years, so there's no need for competition or showmanship.
I'm using a Mossberg 500 with 18.5" cylinder bore riot barrel (stop laughing please), ghost-ring sights (please, you're distracting the customers...), and also have the option of my combo hunting barrel; a 24", screw-in choke, bead sight with Full, Improved Modified, and Modified chokes.
I'm obviously not afraid of being laughed off the field with my riot barrel, as this is the one I'm most comfortable with (and have patterned with dove loads). My hunting barrel has also been patterned with the same loads, and I have taken many birds with both barrels (no pun intended).
Any insights appreciated.
I'm just unsure of the ranges and speeds of these targets and want to have the best 'sporting' chance at hitting a few. Thanks,
