....but .....have you 'hit' any, is what matters.....

Mulvihill88 - tailor the gun/choke/load to the hunting situation (I.e. Fields, river backwaters, tight timber, open timber, etc.

For instance: tight timber- SK, cyl or IC and 1-1/4 oz loads. Probably would opt for 26" bbl. in that scenario.

If I had to pick a bbl length for all-purpose wingshooting it would be 28" with screw chokes. I would use factory chokes until I was convinced (provided my wingshooting skills were solid) I could justify the expense of custom chokes.

Start with basics and develop skills. It's not about the stuff, but what you do with it that counts.

Don't listen to that jibber jabber. "He who spends the most money on gear, kills the most ducks!". Everyone knows that.

yeah shoot em all the time but i aint in no pissin contest, i just mean with that set up i've made some good long range shots and it works good over decoys too, guess you could call it a happy medium

Sorry, Duramax......I forgot you were a 'Pro-staffer'

Serious note. I like the 22in with a patternmaster extended choke with 3 1/2 black coulds max payload on a 10g.

It was an 8 guage, like the person that posted before you said

On a serious note, you'd never get to take a gun with a 22" barrel to one of my duck pits. Way too short andtoo easy to leave everybody with ringing ears and a headache.

It was a 4 guage actually.
