In your experience or opinion what is the best choke tube for long shots? Im looking at getting one for my super X2. I want it for jump shooting snow geese, and geese that flare off at a longer distance.

MH- Would you not have to agree, then, that a shotgun and a rifle are tools used to pursue game. Rifles for long range shooting and shotguns for close range, especially for birds. Rifled barrels, on shot gun for deer hunting with slugs. Most guys are hunting birds with a 12g not 10's. So the true effective range, for the best kill, would be 40yrds or less with steel shot. Do you agree or disagree with that statement? My whole point is, use the proper tool for the "job" and not over stress the tool to get the best preformance out of it.

Coyotes at 100 yards is with tungsten #4 buck out of a 10. Thats a big pellet that is a whole lot more dense than steel. Not saying that the coyotes are stone dead either. Sailing a goose and seeing it drop dead at 100 doesnt mean you killed it at 100.

How do you know it was 100yds? Go to an archery 3D tournament and see how many people mis-judge a target at under 50yds and no put it in the sky without any reference points for distance? I'm not buying it unless it was a very lucky shot.

Dropping Honkers with Steel at a length of a football field. That is honestly hard to imagine. Sure it wasn't a lucky one-hit wonder at 60? Wondering

Seems to me that someone said in an earlier post that you could shoot coyotes at 100yrds with a shotgun and a shot shell......

My cousin and I both shoot the carlsons extended range out of our super black eagle II. We shot a few snow geese out over 80 yards and a couple out as far as 100 yards and thats no joke. alot of birds we shot were over 40 plus yards.

i am not using this for duck hunting. when i duck hunt yes i work the birds right into the decoys before i shoot. i am specifically talking about snow geese. i dont have all the fancy stuff for snow goose hunting to try and decoy the birds. i just want to jump shoot them. thus why i wanted to find the choke that patterns the best at a longer distance.

I would agree. $50 a box and shoot coyotes with it and it pays for itself quickly. Waterfowling is not a poor mans game. Lots of people talk about the price of shells being to high yet i always here peoplr speak about heavily modded mud motors. Ffd decoys and some high prices autoloader. Lots of people cheap out in shells though and will only buy cheap stuff. Shoot what patterns the best.

"No one with a 10 rd extension is ripping off all 10 while they are back peddling over decoys." "Dead coyote t shot and the proper choke is an easy 80 yd gun." Dead Coyote T-shot, $50/box (10 shells). Mag extensions up to 10 rounds. Ripping through $50 of shells on a flock of snows? Too rich for my blood!
