Duck Hunting without a choke
 

How tight and or accurate will you be duck hunting without a choke at 30 - 35 yards without a choke? Shooting a 12 gauge, kent/blackcloud shells? My father is shooting them left and right without a choke and I'm wondering how big of a difference it makes and/or he's just lucky.

If you mean leaving a screw-in choke out of the barrel, that's not good. He will mess up the threads.

If the barrel is cut off and has no choke. If it works, good for him.

What are you talking about.. ??...Is he using a choke tube threaded barrel with no choke tube, or is he shooting a barrel with a fixed choke, as most of us used to do before choke tubes became common..??...

Actually, if he shooting a clylinder bore ( no constriction at all) it might give a pretty nice pattern at 30-35 yards with steel.. I shoot mostly an IC choke with steel, and do well at those ranges..

However, as the above poster said, if he is shooting a threaded barrel with no choke tubes, he may be damaging the threads..
