I agree with everything said above. Forget about the chokes and just shoot the clay. And there is a cool factor in shooting a SXS from a low gun position. Sure, you're going to drop a clay here and there that you wouldn't have otherwise. But tell you what--you'll be one heck of a lot better field shot. When I first started shooting this style at the gun club I was the only one. But before long a number of shooters began experimenting with low gun SXS or whatever and now it's almost normal.
