All depends how close or far they are flushing from u.For me 9 on the right 8 on the left works well.

Double Barrel

6's in the left & 7's in the right barrel.

I use the very same deadly recipe......

useurowname

30 gram Eley Grand Prix in number 7 size shot (32 gram number 6 for pheasant). The gun is choked modified and improved modified, I find these shells pattern particularly well.

Exact same here lad, is that through number 4 choke? Excellent combination I find for woodcock.

To be honest if you shooting game every week, and unless your only going after Woodcock, then listen to all the advice your getting, when I go out shooting, I am shooting Pheasant, and use 6's if a Woodcock gets up he gets what I have in the barrell a 6 is what he gets, so use what you have at the time. if your out shooting and your after Woodcock and a Pheasant rises what will you do. best of hunting luck and enjoy.

Yes it is through a no 4 choke

bizidea

I use remmington 10s in the right barrel when I can get them and 8s or 9s in the left or else 9s and an 8 find they do the biz the whole time all you really need is a grain or two to knock woodcock

Ya I shot one with a vip 6 and it done a bit of damage
Will try and get 9 33g with targeting just Woodcock

Woodcock shot

I use Rem 32g 8, they seem to work well for me, gun is choked modified and improved modified aswell,
As said above it doesn't take much grain to knock them

allan450

I have a 30" Sporter and I have starting using 1/4 and 3/4 choke and use Remington cartridges,I use 34g 9's and 34g 7's for woodcock anything any bigger then 7's I feel will only damage the bird but only use the 7's as a 2nd shot. the 9's give a good spread if ur firing close to cover or with in 20-25 yrds or that way.
