Help Please!!!
I am leaving in two weeks to go to Arkansas on a duck hunt. I am from the panhandle of Florida and I do duck hunt here but its mostly woodies. I will be taking a Barreta Al391 Urikaand a Browning Citori over and under. What shell and choke combo do you guys recommend. I was thinking about going with the Winchester Supreme steel or the Federal Black Cloud. What size shot do you recommend?I usually shoot Winchester Dryloc #2 or #3.We will be hunting over flooded rice fields. Thanks for your help.

RE: Help Please!!!
Your DryLocs will work fine. I have used them for years. Black Cloud is also a great choice if you use the correct choke with it, which is IC.
We recently had a lively discussion on shells. Everyonewas friendly and agreedwith each otheras towhich shells are the best at this link : http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=3121977

Call me crazy but i would go with 3" #4 I would also stick with the Drylocs as well. I would use a Modified choke too it seams to be the best all around choke. Like Rory/Mo said you cant go wrong with Kent Fasteel.

One question that may have some bearing on the shot and chokeI'd use, are you hunting timber or fields in Arkansas?

As Rory was going to point out... shots in the timber are a lot tighter than those in the rice fields CAN be.
Your supreme #2s with a Mod choke should be just the ticket. If you decide to shoot the O/U and the birds work real tight... use a IC/Mod... if they are lighting wide... go with a Mod/ImpMod.
On windy... sunshine days in the timber.... I've had to put the old straight Cylendar choke in... nothing like mallards at 15 yards baby!
