hmmm id say modified if you only wanna buy one...tho at close ranges hitting a fast fast moving animal or clay will be challenging..tho not impossible..i shot clay rabbits with a mod and 6 shot!! lol thats a reason i am good at being on target i think..and i shot my first clays with a full choke and 6 shot! it was hard at first...like always when jsut starting...but i got so good they were completly gone...now i kno about shotguns ect and kno y! lol if you go with modified...make sure u use the rite shot size for your game..
