I want objective opinions please.
For woodcock hunting in the northeast, what do you see as the normal range of your shots. what do you consider the max range you typically get a shot at a woodcock in the cover you hunt. not that one exception out in a field next to a swamp. but when you are hunting the thick alder flats, overgrown wetlands with lots of thick stuff.
my experience is typically within 25 yds. and more often 15 yds.
what chokes do you prefer?
I usually hunt with a double with cyl in right barrel and some choke in left.
what about a sk1 and sk2 combo or cyl and cyl?
does anyone think that open a choke is a handicap or not.
lets hear your thoughts on woodcock choke preference and reasoning.
I will be hunting over my new Pointing Dog, a French Spaniel (not a Brittany!!)
I normally hunt woodcock early in the season with the 28 and #8's. and occasionally flush a grouse. dont really target grouse until after the woodcock flights are gone. Then I switch to a 20.
