Browning Silver Help
 

I bought a new Browning silver hunter lighting, and when i shoot my mod choke with federal premium BB and 2 it seems like i cant hit a barn at 40-50yds ? I'm new to duck hunting but not guns in general. Should i try a different ammo? i can shoot 22 out of 25 clays but when i puddle jump around my house i cant **** crap lol. Any insight would be great
thanks

40-50 yards is a long shot. Sure you will nock some down every now and again but with a factory mod. choke that is a far poke. If that is going to be your avg. shot i would suggest getting an after market shoke like the patternmaster. If you don't want to spend the money on a choke you should set up for closer shots.

i have no issue spending the cash, but i think this coming spring i'm gonna shoot alot more skeet for practice i think my gun i reaching, and i'm just sucking it up ha... thanks for the input. Ordered a Patternmaster long range choke... looks good and gonna give it a shot.

if your shootin 40-50 yards you need to sell me your mod choke and go buy a FULL choke which is still pushing the limit at this range

At 40-50 yards steel shot has lost a lot of energy. You may be hitting birds but the pellets arent effective. Switch to a HD load if your going to continue 40-50 yard shots.

Bet you're not hitting 22 /25 clays at 50 yards. When you can, then use the Patternmaster. Untill then keep your shots under 40 yards and use your IC choke and 2's or 3's for ducks.
