I will go for modified or improved modified, that will give you some distance in the shot while not being as restrictive as a full choke.

modified seems to work best but if they flush close an I/C is gteat but if they are flushing farter out improved mod is my pick.

Modified if they are sitting tight. If they are getting up 15-20 yds out, I prefer full.

I shoot a skeet tube if the bird are sitting tight and a light mod or mod if they are flushing wild. I feel that most people over choke and under load .I shoot quickly with a load 1 1/4 oz of 6 or 5 at 1440 fps ,the skeet is good for 25 yds and the mod is good out to 45 yds .
