Skeet shooting question

[Tominator]

I think most skeet shooters use an improved cylinder or cylinder choke.

Yes, Chris is right, they are pretty open chokes.
You also need to decide on what type of shells you will be shooting. Some use 7 1/2, 8, or even 9 shot, ( if available). You want a big pattern with lots of shot in it LOL.

You want to use your bird/shot barrel. The slug barrel is strictly for slugs.

If I recall correctly, its a fixed modified. I may be wrong though.

If you are shootinig informal clays from a hand thrower or even an stationary thrower, your modified choke will work fine. Shooting on a 8 position skeet range where the crossing shots are 21 yards away is a little tougher with a modified choke but it can still be done. Some trap shooting friends and I have shot a few rounds of skeet with our trap guns occasionally. Those usually have improved modified and full choke. Its a bit tougher but you know when you connect as they turn to dust.
