I prefer o/u for the 2 chokes and better follow thru, 3rd shot is usually a hail Mary anyway

if you toss a 2# can of prepped tannerite it is a lot easier to hit and on a good day one will limit you out. or so I have heard.

Be sure to follow thru! It is actually a bit easier with an O/U. Choke first barrel improved cylinder and second modified. Keep both eyes open *. Don't aim....just point and pull trigger while swinging thru...it's not a rifle
*Might need to check which is your dominant eye. This for sure, once I started pointing and not aiming I hit a lot more birds.

You should try hunting whooping cranes, first. They are bigger, fly slower, and are easier to hit. Then you can gradually move up to smaller, faster birds.

I can think and I can shoot a shotgun....but I can't do both at the same time....I have to swing and shoot instinctively,if I try tracking a bird by aiming at it,I usually will miss....only exception will be high birds flying with the wind and I don't kill many of those....

Nick, what size are the chokes in your shotgun? Are they they the screw in kind? Does your gun have the means to select which barrel fires first?

It was already set up when I got it but it’s over is improved cylinder and under is modified . My gun does have the selector switch I actually just figured it out yesterday it’s integrated into my safety .
