I would think that different chokes even out for trap, and that in the end, your overall score is what counts.

Wouldn't it stand to reason that with the tighter choke, it is easier to miss, but when you don't miss, you are much more likely to break it?

And with the wider chokes, or no choke, your pattern is wider, it is easier to "hit" the clay with the wider pattern, but you are compensated by the fact that you're more likely to dust a target but fail to break it, getting a loss.

Does anybody else think that choke size evens out this way a bit?

Just wondering. It's obviously suicide to use cylinder bore in Skeet or sporting clays, where many of the targets start near the end of the field, but for trap where it starts right in front of you, I would think that pattern density would counteract pattern size and have an averaging effect, all other things being equal, on your overall score of broken clays.

Thoughts?
