A shooter who can keep his head on the stock and resist peeking at the barrel or sight can shoot consistent 23s or 24s at 21 yard skeet birds with a full choke gun.

Duffy was at our club two years ago shooting one Tuesday night on the five stand . I let him shoot the first 8 gauge I acquired . He’s a decent enough fellow . I’ve shot skeet for forty plus years , shooting a straight round with a full choked gun semi regularly is nothing if you’ve been shooting skeet for a long time .
