    I used and improved for early season birds and thick brush hunting but for open area's as said go with the modified choke!

    In the case of Pheasant hunting Modified choke is always best to use.. Phesants can be tough to bring down sometimes,and a Modified choke will provide a dense enough pattern to bring them down consistently and not spoil any meat.

    If you are using a pump or semi-automatic, I believe Modified would be a better choice.

    If you are using a double gun, having barrels choked Modified and Full would allow you to handle both the near flushes, and the longer range shots.

    With an Improved Cylinder, you won't have a tight enough shot spread for the longer ranges, i.e. beyond 20-25 yards.

    I would prefer a modified over an improved cylider for pheasants.
