Two very similar guns is a good idea. Time and money spent on events or hunting trips best to have a back up gun. Lets you use the 2nd as a loaner or bad weather gun too. Came back from the Southern with a GH that's almost identical to my VH. Fox Sterlingworth Pin gun that had been my back up will rotate out of the line up. After the stocks were bent all 3 guns are so close after a few shots you forget which one you are shooting.

On tight chokes and spreaders. Average clays course is going to have long and short targets. I keep about 1/3 spreader loads 2/3 regular loads in a divided pouch. Coming up to a station if the target looks shorter than a skeet target pull out a spreader. If longer use the regular 7/8 oz shell.

Loading spreaders is real simple, Use a different color shell so you don't mix them up. Red AA's for regular shells Green STS for the spreaders. 7/8 oz shot 7/8 oz cup in the AA's. 1 oz cup 7/8 oz shot and poly wad insert for the STS shells. Everything else is the same.

Trojan and DH about perfect.
