A gunsmith told me that my 1917 SC has a "tight full choke" and that is all I know about it. At my trap club most guys shoot with an improved modified choke at the 16 yd line. If I'm shooting a double with a mod and full, I shoot the modified tube close in.

Question: Did the trap shooters of old shoot mostly full choked guns? When I shoot my 12 gauge Superposed (which I like....its pretty beat up tho) I shoot the mod barrel at the 16 yd line and the full at 27. Is that pretty standard?

When I talk with the old geezers at my club, they just say, "Shoot what works".
