This was posted on ### a while back - but it seems to require repeating with all the talk of full chokes on pheasants.

Those of you who haven't seen it will be surprised IMO.


here is one of many insightful photos

Comparing Modified and Full: Modified develops a killing pattern sooner and holds it longer. No wonder it is such an effective choke for trap shooters.

My 3.5 inch with a patternmaster has more power than your 3inch.;:;popcorn:::

I always shot full for trap due to being told that the shot string is longer so the target flies into the shot. I gained two to three broken targets a round when I switched but for some it seems to make things worse.

I shut a Patternmaster something or other that I'm sure is somewhere on the full spectrum. It's probably ALL mental, but for some darn reason I shoot way better with that then factory chokes.

Good stuff. My FC's were made before shotcups and shoot like sharks with freakn' lasers on their heads.

That is a hell of a good read Guy. Wish we had more stuff like this. I still maintain I own some lasers.:)
