Patternmaster Type

[laweidauer]

I was looking at getting a patternmaster and was torn between the long range and the extended range. I hunt ducks and geese over honkers, but they tend to get a little skittish. What are the opinions as far as which on would help me be the most effective.

Im using the extended range PM and love it. first year hunting with one and has stoned birds. i have killed birds up 60 to 70 yards away with this choke. great choke!!!

if you will usually be shooting 3 1/2" shells then definitely get the extended, if not the long range would work fine

Extended is the way to go IMO. With 3.5 shells these things do work son! Dropped a honker last year at 80 yards right up the fart pipe. The Extended range is no joke. The Heavy Shot might have had a little something to do with it aswell. :lol:

But seriously you can't go wrong with an extended range PM.

In my gun. shooting all different loads 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2. the standard or long shoots almost identical to the ext. range. the ext may shoot 2-7% tighter in a 30" circle. If your on a budget go with the long. If you want it to look really good buy the ext, and looking good is always important.
