Steve, really good shooters don't worry about chokes, but anyone wanting to hit more than miss might want to pay attention - at least when shooting skeet. It's a real handicap to shoot full chokes at skeet ranges. We do have bragging rights at my club and we play "skins" - buck a station. I don't like to pay too much money so most my guns are choked skeet in/skeet out [ or light mod.]. We have a pigeon ring - you can't see where the bird is going and the trap throws in a 360 degree circle. The damn thing was my idea, I put it in, and I CAN'T hit squat at it. Now that SxS has mod/ imp mod for chokes - the birds are sometimes a bit farther out. For a right hander shooting skeet - you always face the low house except station 7 and high 8. That will put you in the netural position so you can turn either way. Finding the bird really has nothing to do with the weight of the gun. Because I learned to shoot "gun down " I can look back at the house and find the bird. It's something you'll have to work out. Good luck.
