Would an old cooler be a viable option?

I will offer this observation: I once read a description of poly-chokes where the author stated that "they are as ugly as homemade sin."

I will give another reason why the bottom barrel should be fired first. Last week, I did a gun fitting with pattern testing for a young man who shoots trap in the High School Clay Target League. This young man shoots left handed and is left eye dominant. He was shooting an SKB TT-15 Double...
