Craig, I have never shot skeet in competition, but have done plenty of skeet shooting for fun.
We used to always shoot a round or two as a warm-up for sporting clays competition.
That said, we always shot skeet with full chokes.
What I know about cylinder chokes is that they WILL break a skeet target from any station on a skeet field.
My motto is that open chokes help a poor shot as much as tight chokes help a good shot.

I wasn't arguing the fact that more open works WELL I always viewed that as a given

As to tight chokes helping a better shot I'm still on the fence about that on the skeet field . However I will say in trap sporting or pigeons FOR ME ATLEAST tight chokes give me confidence .
