Reversed chokes : Why?

[Dean Romig]

I have a set of 30" Damascus 2-Frame 10 gauge barrels I have fit to my 12 gauge DH and the right choke is IMod and the left is about ICyl. I believe this set of barrels was choked this way for decoying ducks and geese.

That makes a lot of sense

Would make sense on a driven shoot- never done one but don't the beaters drive the birds towards the shooters-first shot might be further away than the second. Someone above said English guns are sometimes done that way so perhaps that's why.
