Q: choke selection for doves vs ducks whats the typical setup
AWS EXPERT REPLY
That's an excellent question for maximizing your success in the field!
For doves, which are typically fast-flying and abundant, most hunters prefer more open chokes. This provides a wider pattern, making it easier to connect with quick-moving targets, especially during the high-volume shooting we offer. Skeet, Improved Cylinder (IC), or Light Modified (LM) are popular choices.
For ducks, the situation often calls for a tighter pattern, as shots can be longer, and ducks are a more resilient bird. Modified (Mod) or Full chokes are generally recommended to ensure effective hits at greater distances, whether you're shooting over decoys or pass shooting.
At AWS Lodge, our professional guides can also provide personalized advice on choke selection and other shooting tips to enhance your experience.
