Stuck deployed this fathers day but hope everyone is enjoying time with family

How about a run down of aftermarket parts bolt handles lifters bolt releases buttons ect it all makes shooting more enjoyable

Happy Father’s Day man so happy to say that I’ve watched your kids grow since you started. And before people start going into your comments about you saving your lead shot. IT IS NOT FOR WATERFOWL. Bobby is the most law abiding hunter I know. It is for doves, starlings and pigeons. Have a happy Father’s Day bob you earned it.

Good advice, Happy Father's Day Bobby!

Happy Fathers Day Bobby - 57 years old here, have been waterfowl hunting (east coast) since I was six. Spot on with everything you said! My first gun was a Sears and Roebuck single shot 20 with a fixed full, you had to make that shot count. Have been through many guns. Currently shooting a Beretta a400 Xtreme plus. For waterfowl it depends on my situation, with ponds and woodlines I stick with factory, usually modified patterns the best. Doves #7 with Modified, Big open water I use the Kicks High Flyer - Full #2. For deer I use Kicks Buckkicker Full 00 Buck and for Turkey I use Jebs Head Hunter - Winchester Long Beard #6. Good video.

Happy Father’s Day Bob, it’s my first time being a father on Father’s Day! I just use the mod choke that comes with the gun and it’s always worked.

I’ve bird hunted for over a decade. I always ran a carlsons Improved mod. BB for geese, 4’s for mallys, 2’s for ducks and geese, 6’s for woodducks

Some of the best patterns have come out of my factory Beretta optima in the A400, first new gun I've bought for birds after retiring U.S. Army. Before that used factory and Carlsons for an old Beretta 303. You couldn't be more right about practice and confidence in your equipment! thanks for sharing bobby!

Happy Fathers Day Bobby

Happy Father’s Day man I love watching your videos u inspire me a lot have a great day

Love you man. Great video! Love this type of content

Happy father’s day bob

I love the cremator close range in my franchi affinity. I hunt mostly small holes and swamps so my shots are generally 30 yards or closer, but I have dropped geese and mallards at over 40 yards with that setup. It patterns the hevi hammer 3” #2 and kent fasteel perfect.

Happy Father’s Day Bobby and Fred

Happy Father's day Sir. I use a full choke in my semi but then I use a mod and imp mod in my o/u. Love and have miss fowl fridays 2 thumbs up for bringing them back.

Good vid Bob. Happy Fathers Day

Bob always making the off-season better

Stock Improved cylinder is what I use with steel bb shot and it patterns very well for me and my benelli nova I'm not a waterfowl hunter but it works perfectly for fawn killers

I’ve been waiting for a video like this

I use my stock stoeger modified right now. Thanks so much for you r advice in this video. I've been contemplating getting an aftermarket choke but now I'm motivated to become a better shooter first and worry about choke upgrades later. Look out pigeons and starlings!

Thanks for this run down. Very interesting. I’m switched to a .685 this past year using BB for geese and 2s for ducks. What you said about larger shot not holding a pattern as well in the tighter chokes makes perfect sense. If I can find it, I think I will try 2s or 3s for geese and 4s for ducks this year. Great video! First time commenting!!

Love the videos Bob and happy Father's day! I personally like modified or mid range Carlson cremator. I tried a full and I don't like it for the area I hunt in. I always learn something from you!

Good stuff Bobby, Happy Father's Day 👍🇺🇸

Happy Father’s Day Bobby

Happy Father’s Day Bob!!! Enjoy it! I know I sure am

Great video Bob and thank you for adding the safety aspect of too big shot in too tight a choke. I shoot an SBE3 with Carlson mid range or long range ported and just got the same set for my Mossberg silver reserve 2 O/U!

Happy fathers day love the vids

I run a Code Black Duck with #4 Boss shells, it’s a great combo

I pattern my gun last year everything you said is pretty much spot-on killed it Bobby

To Learn to shoot a shotgun, especially with current ammo prices. Take some lessons. To learn to hit targets and to learn lead Shot Skeet. Reason the field layout and targets are fixed. What I learned, is that you don't aim like a rifle shot as the target is moving. Find a shell and choke combination and try to stick to it. By shell I mean Mfg, Shoot Size and loading. Also have instructor do a gun fit and help you learn to mount the gun. Skeet gives consistent target presentation. Five Stand gives more target presentations along with shooting angles. i think tight chokes when distance is involved. spend and take some lessons

My favorite is the modified that comes factory. I’ve dabbled in different chokes over time but I always go back to what it came with.

I have a benelli supernova and for the area I hunt and what I do I fell in love with the stock modified. And I shoot kent 3” number 2

For waterfowl I use Carlsons extended Full (#3 shot steel). For sporting clays I use Carlsons extended Light Modified and everything else I use Carlsons midrange cremator. All in a Benelli SBE3.

Happy Father’s Day. I agree with you.

Happy fathers day Bob!

Happy fathers day bob

This is why I bought the 3 pack of Carlson’s for my A400 LR choke is 2 shot and smaller only MR is any size CR is any size The reason for the restriction on the LR choke is the thin walls for the A400 Optima HP pattern chokes With my Weatherby Element it was anything goes for the LR choke

Hey man so inspirational I can’t wait for the start of the hunting season!!!!!!

Happy Father's day to you.

Improved modified is my preferred choice

I run #2 steel for everything in my go to Mossberg 535 with a factory full and Rossi single shot 20ga. The only exception is for pigeon and dove using 7½ in the Mossberg with the same choke and an Iver Johnson bolt 20ga, and then for varmint I use bb lead for 12ga using a Mossberg factory extra full and 20ga is either #2 lead if I can find it or #4 buck with the old Iver Johnson and it's fixed full choke. That's just my experience on what works and how to keep it simple since I use mostly airguns and rifles and know them very well.

I run a browning bps invector+ factory modified it patterns beautifully with 4s 2s and BB with all the loads i have tried and did a great job on my first duck season last year.

I find that aftermarket chokes for steel and tungsten are definitely worth it. They pattern well and they don't stretch out. Stock ones usually will. I learned to wing shoot with a full choked 870 wingmaster.

I run a longe range pattern master in my sxp pump and I LOVE IT , I just got a Stoeger M3500 and I run a Carlson and I LOVE IT

Full - Carlson Cremator Started using after watching Bobby Guy. Clean kills and clean misses do occur. I really like not chasing wounded birds. Use BB for large Canada Goose and # 3 for ducks. I just have to get better at using my ShotKam. I look forward to the unseen clips from last year!

Carlson's for me, I got the Delta waterfowl three pack and use them on the full range of duck hunting. .730 for small wooded ponds for up close wood ducks and .710 for sea ducks from a layout boat. Almost always use #2 but #4 for up close.

Good stuff...Happy Father's day....stock M2 mid range

just got my first semi shotgun today could not have put out a better video very excited to try her out its a franchi affinity 3

Terror choke tube and BBB for geese, and Pattern Master Code Black Goose and 2's for ducks. If you can find them.... LOL

Another great video from Bob! I think you should do another video on calling. Preferably honkers and mallards

Happy fathers day bobby

Hi Bobby. Thanks for another great video. I saw that you failed to mention 2 things that I thought you may want to look into further. Your “Full” Carlson Cremator is .700, like you said but with the Mobil choke system, it’s an Improved Modified. The Kicks HF full has the same constriction as a true Modified choke as well so they are not technically “Full” chokes based on constriction. 2. I agree with you on smaller steel patterning tighter than larger steel. I have shot hundreds and hundreds of patterns and I’ve come to the conclusion that if you shoot 50yards or less, you don’t need tighter than a true modified. I shoot a Cremator MR which is a Light Modified constriction out to 50 yards with the very best success. Steel bigger than #2 steel actually pattern less evenly with anything tighter than modified in my experience. I shoot 3” 3s for ducks and 3” 1 shot for geese at 4500ft, but I don’t shoot past 50 yards EVER. Keep up the good work!

I just bought a patternmaster long-range ported choke tube for my 10 gauge remington sp10 wasnt cheap but much nicer tighter patterns then the old factory choke that came with the gun. I even got n xtra full turkey choke this year and put the SMACKDOWN on a couple nice birds. Up here in ontario canada were im at 1 with a 12 inch beard and 1.4 in spurs. BOOM!!!! LOVE your vidz Bobby keep em comin

Thank you BobbyGuy....happy fathers day right back to you....so on another note bout chokes an guns ive hunted since I was 9 years old up here in Canada I've never used or spent money on a choke.. my shot guns are single shot an the chokes are built into the barrels I have a different barrel with different choke for different hunts depends what I hunt i usually use my 28 inch barrel full choke.....also start reloading shells its not hard its easy there's plenty of time in your off season they make things to make it easy an quick ive said it many times start reloading your shells 👍👍👍👍👍 Thats my advice for fowl Friday lol 😆 😂 🤣

I’ve been using a modified choke and I’ve done just fine.

Yooo Happy Father’s Day Bobby! Harper and Boddie couldn’t ask for a better Daddio. What a great Fowl Friday topic to get everyone thinking about September through February. As far as chokes go I hope that people know what you mean by full choke. Most full chokes that come stock with your shotgun are made for lead only. Thank you for explaining to check on each one. Most shotguns come with a improved cylinder (which I like for small upland birds and skeet/clays), modified (steel shot for waterfowl or tighter for upland birds like pheasant and even skeet) and full (I only use it for turkey 🦃 loads) that are flush with the barrel. I agree with you on people who are starting out should become intimately familiar with their weapon before adding more money into it. Also about Number 2 shot is the most versatile shot out there especially for large ducks 🦆 and geese. The two chokes I use are the stock modified which is best for shorter range decoying ducks 🦆 and the Pattern Master Black Goose Long Range for pass over shots. Question for you Bobby; “Do you do a lot of summer E - Scouting on say On X or BaseMap? Whether public land with water or fields or finding farms with similar features so you can ask for permission to hunt or get a lease? A few tips on that would be really helpful for everyone and a good Fowl Friday topic for the off-season.

Carlson cremator long range number 2 for ducks and bb for geese. Took a while to find one that pattern good but the browning BB patterns a pie plate up to 50 yards.

Happy Father's day Bobby guy. My favorite chokes are the pattern master code black duck and goose or Carlson cremator or just regular Carlson long range. I love 2 shot blue box or 3 shot hevi hammer and sometimes bb federal blue box.

I shoot Carlson creamators full and modified depending on situation. I also shoot #2 shells out of them

I use the stock Carlson replacement full or I.C. for everything. #2's for most of the duck & goose season. Might use BB in late season, which patterns good in my Benelli. Each shotgun should be pair with the shell & choke it'll shoot best. Some guns love cheap super X like my buddies Beretta. My Benelli doesn't like superX but loves Federal Speed Shock. Good video Bobby 👍👍

If your starting out and want a good cheap choke get the cabellas blackmaxx, It kills and is just like the Creamator

I hadn't bought a shotgun with a screw in choke till just last year. I had a fixed choke 20 gauge before that. Haven't been hunting long. So I'm still working on clays and adjusting to the stock chokes for now. The carlson's chokes though would likely at some point be my upgrade. Especially for the prices. Hopefully though this year I'll do more bird hunting pigeon,dove and crow perhaps.

Utah's boys all run Carlson's full or pattern master goose . The goose hunt is rough out here... sky blasters train em well. I like pattern master just because it strips the cup and lightens the shot string effect. If we're on the water not in blinds I run #5 everywhere else is #2.

I think Bobby when you’re going out hunting in the upcoming season. If you’re able to take a few shotguns and shoot each one testing from pump to semi auto with the choke you prefer to show it’s all about practice and change up chokes showing others that you don’t just have to shoot full chokes right off the bat. Happy Fathers Day as well brother from Ventura, Ca.

And happy father's day

A friend of mine recommended me to your channel this is going to be my first year shooting water foul. I shoot skeet with full and xx full. Pretty good at it. I just picked up a girsan mc312. Runs up to 3 1/2 inch shells would highly recommend one to anyone. 400 ish bucks out the door runs every ammo flawless

I have personally shot most choke tubes out of my own pocket. Like you suggested to learn to shoot your gun hot! Like you said about steel shot was great. I have moved onto tss shot. I am now reloading myself. Now I have the privilege to learn about Comp n Choke. Their customer service is outstanding. The reason I am saying this is that you can call them and they ask what gun are you shouting first. Second they ask what yardage you are seeking and what game you are after. Three they will ask what type of shot you are using. They will suggest what choke they recommend for your fear.I personally run several upon what yardage I am hunting over decoys for waterfowling.

I love my Carlson cremator long range it knocks them down great with 2 shot even out to 50 yards!!!

pretty much on par with Bobby...I like the Kicks high flyers, use my full choke for 2,3 and 4, and put my modified on sometimes, but always for BB steel shot...I would add, it may be worth spending more on top shotgun ammo for the newer shooter, and using a wider choke like a modified. Your aim might not be top notch to start with so use that extra energy from some hevi shot or hevi hammer type ammo with some tungsten or heavier alloy to help put down the ducks with less shot on target.

Just picked up a new gun near end of last season, shot a LR patternmaster that came with the gun (bought second hand) for a majority of the remained of season as I was hunting on the shores of Lake Ontario, no boat, big water, lot of just pass shooting. Most shots 45-60 yards. Shot a Carlson MR wary season with last gun, ran well, liked it, but new gun was different threads. Picked up a kicks high flyer modified for my mid range choke for the upcoming season.

Patternmaster extended range modified with hevi metal #2 is my go to out of my sx4. Stones birds, hardly ever any cripples.

Damn Bubba I remember when we chatted on here back in the day we was Broke talking about our Tristar 🤣🤣😂 Both our lives changed for the GOOD since then!!!!!!

Our whole crew shoots Patternmaster Code Black Goose with Kent #2s most of the season. My Benelli Venci is definitely picky when it comes to ammo and Kent has been the best so far. I will use a Carlson Mid-Range with 4s during our early season wood ducks hunts.

a little late but happy father’s day, love my kicks high flyer full choke

Bobby, What happen to the "Peaceee" at the end of the video?? Lol Keep up the good work.

I role with Pattern master with 3 or 2 shot 2 ³/⁴ shells nothing over 1450 1500 for ducks and the same choke triple Bs 2 ³/⁴ nothing over 1450 for honkers reason being i find it kinda like taking a hand full of rocks and throwing vs lobbing, witch will have a tighter pattern, lobbing witch brings me to the point, hotter the shells more likely to blow your pattern apart thats why i dont shoot anything over 1500 or a 3 ¹/² inch shells because i can get the same thing but better out of a 2 ³/⁴, always good to see fred keep the videos coming and happy fathers day

Hey Bob, I've been experiencing pretty good patterns with a extra full high flyer and 3inch #2s out of my affinity 3 and it's a stone cold killer

Primos- decoy choke in my bottom barrel and mid range in my upper barrel.... been using that configuration for years

Happy Father's Day. I prefer a fully automatic extended clip mag blunderbuss .

Do a video on is a 20 gauge worth getting

Carlson Cremator MR for everything! I've had very few wounded birds since switching over

Carlson modified works great for me

Pattern Master Code Black DUCK with #2 Heavy Metal 3"

Carlson cremator mid-range ported for duck/geese/sandhill crane. Carlson cremator Full ported for dove. I'm hoping to be able to keep the full in all year this upcoming year. I started using Migra shotgun shells. It’s a mix of 2/4 shots the pattern is significantly better than what I was getting with Hevi Steel. The Carlson Cremator ported chokes and Migra Shells are an unbeatable combo.

Can you address shot string and chokes? I run a weather by pa08 I have a Carlson mod on that. Loved it. Switch to a franchi affinity 3 this past season, run kicks mod and full out of that. Gotta run modified if the birds are finishing, that full in #2 is pretty tight. Picked up a sxp for my daughter this year, might pick up a pattern master or RR for her. The possibilities are limitless

Yeah my buddies all trying to buy a cremator like mine and first year hunting and he’s not even comfortable I told him same thing just from experience get use to your gun and the mod choke! Definitely read those choke too hate for some to mess up there gun. Learn on the Tristar and with dove helped me so much with ducks and geese. Shoot 2 shot never had luck with bb

Happy father’s day

happy fathers day.

Happy father's day Bob. I run the Carlson cremator long range for big ducks and geese and I run the mid range for teal and dove. As for video ideas.....well hpw about some taking the wife and kiddos out on the toon fishing. Maybe you and Beth out magnet fishing together. Take your pops catfishing. Just a couple ideas to ponder

Pretty spot on really. You need a slightly more open choke to handle steel due to steel not compressing as much. A full choke for steel is about equal to a modified with lead. He's right about big shot I've broke code black goose chokes with BBB

I’m running a Benelli Nova with a Carlson Cremator Long Range extended choke typically 2 or 4 shot

I used to run a modified barrel for year. Went to the sx3 started with a mod. Went to the factory full. Code black duck. Carlson creamy. And stopped on the jebs xtra full .690

I agree with your perspective Bobby. I’ve bought plenty of aftermarket chokes and I really don’t see much of a difference between those and the ones that came with my gun. Personally I enjoy shooting an improved/modified with #4 shot at ducks. I’ll bump up to BB’s if I’m going on a straight goose shoot. I like to work my ducks close and #2 with a full won’t leave much meat left. And it keeps my pattern too tight for my personal comfort

Factory mod & IC in the 20 gauge (double barrel Charles Daly, “wife’s gun”) & a code black duck in the ol stoeger 3500. That choke doesn’t leave except when getting new grease or the yearly rabbit hunt. #4s for all ducks, 2s for geese.

Since the pattern masters are not a constricting choke when u up the shot size it patterns just as good a smaller shot size cause it doesnt restrice it down.

Kicks Full in my SBE2 number 2 Blind Side seem to be my best pattern

Just this year I got a pattern master extend range full choke. But last year I used a modified choke.

Curious on your thoughts on Müller chokes. Surviving duck season did some extensive testing, found they were more consistent by far.

If anybody shoots invector-plus guns that use them tubes, I highly recommend to use a wicked wing choke in long range or mid range i love it when they first came out I bought one and it's awesome it's only made for duck hunting and steel shot only. Can't shoot anything bigger then 2 shot in it also.

I got the Winchester sx2 and a carlson cremator. First 12 gauge I have owned. I went skeet shooting and hit 49 of 52 targets. Not too bad, I don't think there is anything wrong with learning on an extra full choke if that is what you want to hunt with. Ill probably take it out before I go squirrel hunting again though lmao 🤣
