Winchester 21

Appreciate the responses. My experience is limited but it seems I seem to break more clays with a gun that is choked IC/ mod vs something more open. Maybe it’s my perception of seeing a clay shattered instead of a few chips flying off.
(If I truly kept score I would be disappointed.)
But this Winchester Skeet has me intrigued. I think a Parker skeet would be a little out of my price range.

I picked up a 20 gauge skeet awhile ago in very good condition.
I will post some pictures when I get back.
They are very nice guns I always wanted one and this one came along.

Ernest Hemingway, the writer/hunter was crazy about Winny 21s. He owned three of them, all in 20 gauge. He gave them to his various wives who apparently did pretty well with them. I've held a few, but never shot one. Some folks love them. They aren't cheap but aren't all good guns?

You are on the right path to breaking targets Clark. An open choke will certainly break targets but won't give you the visual feedback that a tighter choke will. When you just crush a target you know you were in the right place at the right time. Enjoy the journey my friend.
