Anyone else using a light modified or modified choke for 16 yard trap? I broke 25 straight for the first time using a recently acquired BT-99 and a flush modified choke. I've shot trap casually for years with a fixed choke Browning O/U and never got past 22 out of 25 clays and that was on a good day.
I was checking out the Briley site and was a little surprised to see on their Clays chart the tightest choke listed was modified. Muller recommends their U2 (light mod/mod) for 16 yard trap. Cruising about Google and learned that some accomplished competitors are using a light modified (practice with full, compete with light modified). This fly's in the face of the "you can use any choke you want as long as it's full choke" crowd and "go for smoke". Its obvious 25 chips beats 24 smokes and a lost.
Keep in mind that I am talking about 16 yard trap and not serious competition. But seems to me that a modified choke can be more than competitive even for handicap trap. Thoughts?
