Pass shooting geese need help

Postby Ksfowler166 » Mon Jan 02, 2012 12:16 am

I have a place where I can pass shoot canada geese. Was wondering what choke and shot size to use. Range will probabley be 40+ yd. I have a 1187 3" 12ga. with i.c. , mod., and full chokes. I have remington nitro T shot, Win. experts BB, Kent faststeel #1, and Federal Heavey Weight #2. HW is the 15.2 g/cc load.
2011/2012 season
1 ringneck duck
1 meganser
5 pheasant
5 quail
7 dove
1 rabbit

A lot of posts on the ? you ask, and most answers will have something to do with patterning "your" gun/choke/ammo combination. My go to load is 3" or 3.5" BB and ImpMod for geese.
But, there's also a lot of variables,,, wind conditions, judging actual distance, LEAD...keeping the barrel swinging through the shot, these all come into play when pass shooting.
Pass shooting can be fun and "easy" when compared to setting decoys and concealment of yourself, but the results in my experience(s) are "less frequently" as good.
