I always take two Fox guns to the Webb Farm. One is a 16 g AE and the other is a 20 g Sterlingworth. Both guns are choked IC and F.

Re: Quail hunt with 20 G Sterlingworth.
That's a lotta choke for quail guns, Bill. Do you use spreader loads?
Thanks for posting.

I used to use spreader loads in the left barrel but don't anymore. I have come to like that choke combination. Find that now that I am older I shoot more doubles with a tight second barrel. Don't rush the second shot.

That's a nice basket of quail, Bill. Jim
Goodbye Mandy, once in a life time hunting dog. I miss you every day.

That choke combination is perfect for wild quail as they are smoking fast and your second shot can be distant. Pen raised birds you would need to be patient on your second shot.
