Q: choke recommendations for doves vs ducks for march trip, any specific preferences you guys have for the lodge guns
AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's a great question! For high-volume dove shooting in Argentina, we generally recommend more open chokes like Skeet or Improved Cylinder (IC). This allows for a wider pattern, which is very effective given the incredible number of doves and often closer ranges you'll encounter. For ducks, which are typically taken at slightly longer distances, a tighter choke like Modified (MOD) or Improved Modified (IM) is usually preferred to ensure good pattern density and knockdown power.
Our lodge provides a selection of high-quality shotguns, including brands like Benelli and Beretta, and our professional guides are always on hand to assist you with choke selection to best suit the conditions and your personal shooting style once you're here. Gun rentals and licenses are seamlessly managed by our team as part of your itinerary, so you don't have to worry about the details.
Regarding your interest in a March trip, while our online calendar might show some dates as fully booked around that time, we frequently have hidden inventory. To help us do a real-time manual check for specific availability and send you exact pricing for your group, could you please share your email address?
