These are the main two that I use as well.  I do have some Carlson chokes on a few of my duck guns as well, but they are only shot on occasion.

Shoffy, are you trolling with a barbless hooks? "I'm looking to get a little more range for pass shooting", the skybuster haters should be all over this.......maybe change the bait line a little and see what you gut hook. :tup: :chuckle:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

 :dunno:yeah I don't know what you call it then ... sitting in a blind over frozen corn field water (no other choice) with standing full bodies and can't get the ducks to commit because of the ice ... all the shots were what I would call "long range pass shooting" .. they were coming in to take a closer look on a pass, but once they saw the ice they changed their mind ... I feel like if I would have had one of those performance full chokes I could have taken a few more pokes that what I did ... Truth be known I'm a upland guy that only duck hunts occasionally ...

Screw a Briley Light Modified into that Benelli and shoot them over the decoys.

I’ve got Briley’s, Pattern Masters, Carlson’s you name it, I just use a Truelock IC in my Beretta. If I anticipate longer shots I’ll use heaver shot like 3 ½ #2’s, I normally shoot #4’s.   :twocents:

What are you shooting now? I think the factory mod in the m2 is a great all purpose choke.
