Welcome to the Parker phobia, sounds as if you started off on the right foot with a sever case of Parkeritus. I wouldn't be to concerned with the more open choked guns as my favorit choke is skt/skt. The plastic shot cups (wads) will tighten up a choke somewhat.

You have great bird country in MT and with the partnership of a good pointer the open chokes will prove deadly on any upland game bird.

At least with Skeet/skeet there is some choke. Cylinder/cylinder is not much. I guess I could check into a back-bore to try and get some.

Thanks for the reply.

I have a DHE 20ga w/26 inch bbls thats cyl/cyl and it's my go to Grouse/Woodcock gun.

About only place to use open chokes would be in the trees for Blue Grouse, but then they usually get killed with a stick or my S&W 46 long rifle in the head.
Just too open usually. I could try it for quail in Az if I don't carry my sidelock 28 Gruella. Its pretty light.
Need to try my Quail special. 410 Cresent Arms.
Just haven't been hunting quail for awhile.
