So I’ve been hunting waterfowl more and more. This year playing baseball and going to college duck hunting has been one of the main things I’ve gotten Time to chase. That being said today buying shells i picked 3 inch 3 shot. Talk me through the process of your selection and advantages and disadvantages? Thanks guys!

Good choice. Never look back

2s and 3s are about as multipurpose as it gets.

If I've got a good chance at decoying, I'll have #4s also usually have #3s for backup rounds or if I think ranges are going to be a little longer. The important thing is to buy shells that are all the same, or close, velocity.

What choke does everyone recommend?
-
I'd recommend patterning your gun with whatever chokes you have. What you find may surprise you. I've bought a few aftermarket chokes over the years but none have ever been worth the cost over factory chokes in my opinion.
I find myself shooting an improved cylinder in my remington 1100 most of the time, usually with #2 shot.

BigGoonTuna is right on using an IC choke, but for my :twocents: I use an aftermarket that is not steel, SS, Teflon coted or titanium. When they rust they will come out easier. I also use IC 90% of the time for sporting clays :)
