Today I patterned my Mossberg 500a 12 ga., with 4 different chokes. All were Carlsons Extended stainless steel tubes. I fired at a distance of about 25 yds. The 4 chokes were SKT, IC, MOD, & FULL. I built my own stand, stapled a new piece of cardboard to it, and used a large white sheet of paper approx 32" X 36". I folded the paper in quarters, unfolded it & drew black lines on the creases. Then traced a skeet in the center with a larger circle traced from a garbage can lid. The concentration of hits became denser towards the lower half as I went from SKT to Full. I fired 2 shots at each target. When they say cover your target, I guess that means aim a little high.
