rifle sights, etc ....are no good for shooting moving targets ( birds, clays, etc )...so no.../ if you're going to shoot clays or birds....

Chokes - sure you might need chokes ...depends on what you do with the gun ...but with lead shot...in general...

a. Cyclinder choke - is ok, out to about 20 yds
b. Modified Choke - is ok, out to about 35 yds
c. Full choke - is ok, beyond 45 yds ..

Most of us - for "clay target games" ...or that hunt birds ....carry the following in chokes ( but there is some overlap too ):

Cyclinder
Skeet
Improved Cyclinder
Modified
Improved Modified
Full

You don't need a "Skeet" choke to shoot Skeet ....you can shoot it reasonably well with a Cyclinder or an Improved Cyclinder choke as well.

For 16 yard Trap singles ....( you are 16 yds from house / target goes downrange - and you kill it between 30 and 35 yds - so most of us would screw in a Modified Choke ...

Depending on what your gun came with - you might need a few more chokes...
