I've been shooting some trap with my FN SLP with an 18-inch barrel and full choke. While fun, it's a bit difficult to sight the clay with the ghost ring and front ramp style sights.
I'm going to order a 28-inch barrel for the gun that has a ramp and gold bead. I'm thinking of getting either a modified or improved modified choke for the new barrel - any thoughts on which may be better?
I understand the "full choke for nothing but smoke" meme - but, breaks score the same as black puffs...this isn't competition...I have no illusions about going to the next Olympics...or even winning the regional trap competition - this is strictly for a day at the range with something in addition to pistol and rifles.
Please, no comments on the need to pattern chokes - I understand the need to do that, and how to do it - and also realize it only shows the shot in two dimensions, while in reality you're creating a shot string.
I'd like opinions on the best compromise in a choke for a single barrel shotgun where I have to use the same choke for singles, doubles, and follow up shots (I currently do a lot of those with the ghost ring + ramp...)
