With the limits placed on the number of hunters allowed in one field, blockers often see long crossers in our group hunts in SD.

Since Ive been using mostly 20g and 410 in the past few yrs, most of pheasant shooting is with 1 oz /20g and 11/16 or 3/4 oz with a 410. With 20g and larger, an open for choke and a tight one is a favorite of mine too. Same with a 410 on the quail. But for pheasant with a 410 I prefer both a choked tight.
