Over pointing dogs, a "skeet" choked double is the weapon of choice IMHO. Ditto for woodcock and grouse in thick cover with any dog. They are quite useful over decoys for waterfowl especially for woodies and teal. I choke all my small gauge upland quail/woodcock guns .005/.012 the equivalent of "skeet 1 and skeet 2". I have only had one Parker skeet choked gun, a VHE 16g but I have had a number of Winchester Model 21 Skeets and have 2 now in 20 and 12. The 12 gauge 28" M21 Skeet I have is one useful, very versatile weapon with its patented WS-1 choke and its mate the WS-2 (which patterns much like a Winchester modified)
