I have no technical data to back up my impressions but I swear my older tight choked Parkers, ithacas and winchesters really smash birds. Of course that is what a full choke does but I notice this particularly on the trap line when compared to modern guns. It gets to the point on a good day that if you just take a chip from a bird it feels a little disappointing. Tight as my older guns are choked I love them on 5 stand and sporting clays even though my scores are lower with them. So many older guns are choked tight but I am with Denis and will never open them up. And then there is the fact that all my summer shooting fun merges into duck season and the hoped for satisfaction of hard, decisive and effective hits.
