I have been shooting some Sporting Clays with tighter chokes in the belief that it will improve my shooting. If you can center a target at 25 yards with a full choke then doing it with a skeet choke is a cinch. Game birds are another story, center a Grouse with the same choke at 25 yards and all you have is a sky full of feathers.

I'll take skt in and skt out for my upland guns and my Parker project 20 will have it's chokes configured that way also. I have no problem on opening the chokes unless its a high condition collector gun.

Rich,
I agree. Upland birds require a more open choke. Most birds are brought down with only a few pellet hits. Clay targets on the other hand are fun to vaporize.
