Nobody said you didn't know what you were talking about! All was said is that possibly you didn't add enough to the discussion to insure the OP didn't mess up and wound a bird by shooting too far with that modified choke since you didn't tell him what distance you tried to stay within, so I did. You sure get your panties in a wad when someone is just trying to help a person that asked a question with a little additional information. At least now the OP knows what he should do to pattern his gun. What town are you in over on the east side?
