Ok I am looking to purchase a extended improved modified choke tube to use for the upcoming waterfowl season. Yet I am debating between a couple of brands. Does anyone have info on the extended improved modified chokes offered thru carlson's chokes or comp-n-choke? What brand extended improved modified do you use with good results?

I have Kinks, but all I know is that it stays on when I shoot ...pricy though. Larry Potterfield said that I needed one, so I got it. Then he said that I needed at least one more, so I got another one. :-) Actually, the only reason I got kinks is because they were supporting a show that I like to watch.

I looked at kinks chokes but I just couldnt bring myself to spend the extra dough lol Buy a Beretta 392 and I'll give you two brand spanking in the box new ones. Paid about $80 each. I'm thinking that I will not use my extended choke that I've been using for crow and will use for geese. I have a 30" barrel on my Beretta A400, and will probably use one of the chokes that came with it. I think I got 5 in the case. I have recently read guys using improved chokes. Each has it's own purpose. I'm just hoping to not take anything over 40yds for duck. I really want to wait on them to come in, but of course, I don't have a clue what it will be like. I hope joeyb takes me out before I go by myself. |

lol before i go and buy a new shotgun I am going to pattern test a couple of chokes with varied loads and see what performs the best. I am looking to develop a choke and load combo that will give me the ability to bring down ducks or geese aoa 60 yards on a regular basis. which i know is more than possible but need to get to the range get started on pattern testing. I have several different loads i am going to test. hevi-shot hevi-metal #2 and BB, black cloud #4, remingtons fast steel waterfowl, and a few others. I just need to get the chokes and get started.  |

Typically when hunting for geese, the pattern should be tighter, bigger bird and higher. You might want to consider two chokes, one for duck and one for geese. But hey, they killed them before we had chokes. |

I am more than likely going to end up using two different chokes for the two different species and associated factors. Yet I am going to have to see what the pattern testing results are before I take the chokes or loads into the field. I want to be sure that I have a choke/load combo that I am confident in prior to the season opening. The results from the field will tell me whether my pattern testing results were solid or not.

Just another way to spend your money and kill the same birds. Never did buy into it. Learn to shoot well and don't take crazy shots you will be fine with any factory tube.

I looked at kinks chokes but I just couldnt bring myself to spend the extra dough lol sorry it took me awhile to answer. I don't get on here a lot. I have a Carlson mod also but I recently shot my buddys comp n choke light mod out of my 870 super mag. an the comp n choke patterned better for ME every gun is different in my opinion both are extended chokes |

60 yards? Been watching big money outdoor shows?
I can and will on occasion drop both ducks and geese at that kind of range, but personally prefer about 60 feet. Of course those are flushing birds after we've landed them for the kids to shoot.
Then again, I'm a bit out of the norm. I use a steel full choke, #6 - 2 & 3/4" steel early season (#1 - 3" Fasteel late), and take head shots.

No hunting shows or Internet shows just info passed to me by individuals with more experience than I and results I've gotten from crow hunting this season. Well I appreciate all the input
