Yep choke is no go, dad has a few old hunting sg with like 24-28" barrels...(have not seen them in like 8yrs so I might just be making that up).. Yeah this is actully the only public and the only outdoor range in Hawaii (at least on the island I am on). So really slugs are my only option. As far a property goes, there is a big field across from me but crazy drug people live there and someone once killed my dog in there..I dont want to go in there really, plus they are building houses now...There might be a few other places but it means walking through a residential area with a gun which might a be a no no.
