Good trap choke?

[squirrelkilla23]

I'm going to buy a barrel for a 20 gauge 870 express. I'm thinking 26'' or 28" fluted vent rib. What kind of choke should i get if i'm planning on using it on a trap team?

If you're shooting from 16 yards, I'd say Modified will work fine. You won't "smoke" the targets like you might with a full choke, but it will give you a little bigger pattern and you might break a few more with a little wider pattern. If you are shooting handicap, then you should consider switching to Improved-Modified, and Full, as you move farther back.

I have used Imp. Mod, Full and Extra Full chokes for trap. My favorite is Full, and I use it for all yardages.

I would suggest starting with modified. Once you learn proper lead and follow through you can move into a full choke. I shot trap leagues for several years, and the best piece of advice I ever got was, "head down, eyes up". And good luck to you.
