cmdoves Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I have a Montefeltro Super 90 12 Gauge. I recently was dove hunting in southern Colorado and I asked several people in our party for advice on the proper choke for doves. No one could agree and I tried the improved cylinder, skeet and modified chokes and the improved cylinder semed to work the best. Any comments or suggestions?

fattire75 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I shoot IC for every thing and find that it works best for upland and doves. Since steel shoots a tighter pattern than lead I find IC works well for waterfowl. If I new all my shots were going to be 40 yards plus like pass shooitng geese I would shoot mod but I don't pass shoot that often so IC works for me.

BenelliSBE Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I don’t know if the doves fly like they do here in Georgia. But after a few dozen rednecks shoot at a dove they can really move. I find that in this situation a modified choke is the best for me. However, I generally stick to the improved cylinder. On windy days I will switch to modified. It will spread the shot out a little more and hopefully puts a better shot pattern around the bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
