The best pheasant, quail and chukar hunting in Texas

Is an improved shotgun choke good for pheasant hunting?


I used and improved for early season birds and thick brush hunting but for open area’s as said go with the modified choke!

    no, a good shot is.

    If you are using a pump or semi-automatic, I believe Modified would be a better choice.

    If you are using a double gun, having barrels choked Modified and Full would allow you to handle both the near flushes, and the longer range shots.

    With an Improved Cylinder, you won’t have a tight enough shot spread for the longer ranges, i.e. beyond 20-25 yards.

    In the case of Pheasant hunting Modified choke is always best to use.. Phesants can be tough to bring down sometimes,and a Modified choke will provide a dense enough pattern to bring them down consistently and not spoil any meat.
