Default Good Choke 4 20ga. Grey Squirrel

I was squirrel hunting the other day and thought it would be better to hunt with a full choke rather than the modified that came with my gun. I found i did allot more missing than with my modified choke. Even at some longer distances it just diddnt seem right. What do u guys think.

It is a tighter group, so at close range it is much easier to miss. At longer ranges, your group will be tight, ensuring more dead squirrels. Are you shooting at running/climbing squirrels?

I shot at one that was sitting dead still, I made a good shot(i thought) and he just sat there...then began to move up the tree, i shot again and he just remained still...then he fell..... I guess it just me, but somtimes im not willing to admit that lol.

you need to shoot the gun at a paper target or cardboard and see which choke patterns the best with the shells you are shooting.
