msimmons Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Recently purchased 12 ga Montefeltro Grade II for dove hunting here in upstate SC. It has been properly broken in, pattern tested at 40 yds, and has toasted many sporting clays. Question-most effective choke for opening day doves? Skeet or IC? Difference in range or pattern size? I plan to try both anyway but thought someone might have experience. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I've always shot modified on doves. Never had a problem getting a limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drundel Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 skeet choke for dove? not past 20 yards. I'm a LM man. a bit more open than mod. in my O/U, I shoot IC/LM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK JACK Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I used to be one of those guys that would try every after market choke there was thinking that there was going to be some magical choke that was going to make me shoot better than I ever had before. For me I like skeet or IC I have found that I can accomplish any pattern with my factory chokes that I can with any after market chokes.
