I have much admiration for those few who are excellent shots with a 410. I've shot Parker and other makes of 410's and struggle with them, and consequently am of the view that they are not a game or target gun for me. The story about his accuracy with a 410 for quail and doves was impressive.
While at the UP shoot, I listened to a fellow discuss that 410s should have a more open choke for a tighter pattern. I don't know enough to know, but these 410's are tough to use with any effectiveness. At the UP, I shot 410, 28, 20 and 12 ga's at the long range course, where you stepped back every time you made the preceeding shot. I struggled to get halfway back with the 410 and did incrementally better as the bore size increased.
