What choke is best for dove ?

Which should I use in my remington 870 12 gauge for dove, full, mod., or imp cyl. ??

Extra full.




Probably modified or imp cyl.

i find that modified seems to work for just about everything except turkeys and prolly geese....

IC for first half of the season and then Light Mod or Mod for the 2nd half of the fall season and the winter season. BTW, Briley makes a great extended LM choke for the 870.

Waterhole hunting and jump shooting (walking) - I/C

Big fields with lots of passing shots - Mod

Flyways with the high fast travelers (my favorite but hard to find) - Full

For waterhole or mojo hunting, don't rule out a cyl choke either.

If not using an ou or sxs and I don't know what to expect, I generally start with an IC or Skeet, but have a Mod in my bag in case I feel I need to make a change.

Cyl choke

full w/black cloud

Improved cylinder, but I keep a Mod, Full and XXFull in my shooting box.

What ever works for you. You need to go pattern your gun, take different chokes with you, and if one is not working, switch.

Same with decoys and duck hunting, if they don't like your spread, change it. Don't sit for an hour saying to yourself, "Man, they don't seem to like our spread today." Fix it, move it, change it.

With chokes, it's all in what you shoot, and what you shoot often, what you are comfortable with. Know your limitations.

Good luck.

I/C and Mod for our 20 ga O/U Stoeger Condor

Light Mod for the 20 ga Winnchester 1400 Ranger Auto loader

If you gotta ask then put the most open choke in that you own; iC.

Some folks just wanna learn & get info TDK

i shot a skeet choke for a long time.

now I shoot I/C in my wingmaster.

I hunt with an old 20 ga. Wingmaster that doesn't have the capability of changing the choke.

It sounds like some of you guys must be really fast. If you can see a bird, change the choke depending on the shooting situation and get a shot off before the bird is out of range ........... you are good!

I shoot modified or full. Modified for when im walking fields and full for just sitting. I hunt dove most of the time with a Full choke just cause I have for 10 years now. I like being able to reach out and hit the high flyers.

I like mod.

And?? Looks like he got lots of info. I thought my advice was pretty sound, they will probably be most succesful with an IC anyways...

Sounded a little bit negitive TKD ! hehe
