Cut the barrel off to 20 inches and install a 6 inch Patternmaster... Gets the job done

Try letting the ducks get closer to you.

This is a 15 year old kid asking the question. He is new to the sport as well. Let's try to help him instead of ridicule and criticize him.

Justin,

To get more range out of your gun, you swap chokes out.

For close shots use an IC, medium range shots go with a modified, longer shots go with a full choke.

Any more questions feel free to PM me man!

So if I walked up to your kid in Wal Mart and called him a retard or a little homo to his face or said his mother was a whore, that's ok? He just needs tougher skin? Is it different because we are on the internet where as that wouldn't be ok in person but since its on the internet, it's alright? I don't think so. That may be an extreme analogy, but I feel it is about correct.

There is no reason to ridicule a kid, internet or not.

I would try playing with different chokes and shell combinations. The very farthest to ever wanna shoot a duck is probably 45-50 yards. I'm sure there are folks out there who killed one "dead" at 70 yards today with some type of 4" shell and an aftermarket choke, but this is a low percentage shot every time. There is a little bit to the aftermarket chokes (I don't use one), but it wont replace well taken shot opportunities. The best way to improve your accuracy is patience and knowing limits.
