Tom brings up an important observation. He hits (or kills) more birds with his tight choked 28 than he does with the open barrels. Obviously, he is hitting birds with the open barrels, but doesn't put them in the bag. He is crippling the birds he is hitting with the open barrels. Gives a little more credibility to Daryl's post. Tight chokes are the only choice for serious bird hunting with a 28, except for quail, woodcock, and sometimes, grouse. What do you open choke guys do with a grouse when you miss with the first barrel? Luckily, Tom learned from experience, as have Daryl and I. 28 gauge Repros with IC and MOD are a better choice for general bird hunting than the Quail 1 and Quail 2. MOD and FULL may be an even better choice.
