What choke and action are most common for skeet shooting? I have tried with a modified and I missed, But when I used a full I hit both of the skeets I shot at (only had time for 2).

open your chokes.
saying you broke both with full chokes says you shot way out there.
I'm fond of the gas semi-autos but that's strictly personal preference.
It really sounds as if you're just practicing your wing shooting by busting clays...and that's great. Target loads are fairly cheap, reloading them even cheaper, and the more you shoot the better you'll get.
Try to keep both eyes open and focused on the clay. Keep the barrel moving and trust in your natural hand/eye co-ordination. It'll surprise you.

Ok, apparently I do it all wrong. I use full choke (my modified choke patterns way high, but my full doesn't), I use a pump, I don't shoot with my dominate eye (I am right handed and left eyed). I shot both targets with the first shot, so I didn't have to put another shell in the chamber while the skeet was still in flight. About how far is normal? Also, where would skeet chokes compare in size to other chokes?
FirstBubba- I ground the bones up really fine and put them in biscuits.Actually, the one that didn't turn into powder I reused as targets for the .22, which pretty much obliterated them. I'm not really planning on getting into skeets either. I want to start dove and quail and goose hunting, and I need target practice. Now, I'm not sayin' it's not a blast, I'm just not doing it for competitive shooting.
