I have no experience with them, but had a buddy the other day tell me that they are the ONLY choke to use.

My Citori has the Invector Plus system, should I buy one fordove and pheasant hunting and bustin a few clays?

Thanks

There are a number of products on the market that perform very well. Patternmaster is a good product, but their notion of "wad retention" as a means of improving performance is nothing more than marketing hype.

Their notion is that by retarding the wad, the choke tube will decrease the shot string (the distance between the first pellet to arrive at point of impact and the last pellet). I did the analysis, and the reality is that this boils down to an issue of 1/1000ths of a second even when you are talking about the slowest loads. So the question becomes how much distance can your target travel in 1/1000th of a second. If you think it can travel a great enough distance to impact your overall success than this wad retention stuff is definately the product for you.

My opinion is if you are willing to spend $ 100+ on a choke tube, go for a brileys or terror or one of the other companies that just focus on making damn good choke tubes and stay away from the gimicks.

If you are sold on this notion of wad retention, look at Patternmaster and Wad Wizard. They both do the exact same thing.

Good luck

ive shot doves with my patternmaster but they shoot so tight that i had better luck with modified. a PM would be good for those longrange pheasants though. i would say they are worth the money. practice with them or you will shoot alot of ammo with little results.
