Q: what chokes do yall rec for doves vs ducks any big differences there
For dove hunting, which typically involves fast-moving birds at varying distances, we generally recommend more open chokes like Skeet, Improved Cylinder, or Light Modified. These chokes provide a wider shot pattern, increasing your chances of connecting with the elusive doves.
For duck hunting, which often involves larger birds and potentially longer shots, tighter chokes are usually preferred. We typically recommend Modified or Full chokes to maintain a denser pattern at greater distances, ensuring more effective knockdown power.
