If your talking about a Parker Skeet gun marked "Skeet In" and "Skeet Out" you have to remember nothing about a Parker is standard. Scott K. had a 12ga VHE Skeet gun that had a lot of constriction in both barrels and patterned full and full. You have to pattern every gun of any brand at 40 yards to figure out what they are really choked regardless of markings. As far as a Skeet choke it also depends on the gauge. A 12ga should be throwing a great pattern between 20 and 30 yards and would work fine out to 35 yds + or -.

Remember generally larger shot sizes will pattern tighter than small shot through the same choke. So put it on paper with the load you want to use for the game hunted and you'll know for sure.
