A Brief Guide to Choosing the Proper Shotgun Choke
Article gives advice on choosing the correct shotgun choke to be used for hunting and other purposes.
Today the four standard choke selections is full, modified, improved cylinder, and cylinder. The full choke provides the tightest shot pattern of the four with modified being the next tightest. The cylinder provides the widest shot pattern of the four with improved cylinder being the next widest.
The question for the hunter or shooter of shotguns is when to use which choke. For turkey hunting the choice is full choke, or the even tighter extra full. This is due to the fact that the turkey's head is a relatively small target and putting the maximum number of shot into this target is needed to make a humane kill of this large and tough bird. The cylinder choke is used for small birds that do not require a lot of shot to bring down and that are usually shot at close range. As the close in bird usually moves very quickly a perfectly pointed shot is not always possible and the larger shot pattern allows for more margin of error. Hunters using a cylinder choke will have to pass up longer shots. This is why the middle ranges of choke are the most used for bird hunters. The modified and improved cylinder chokes are a good compromise that can allow for longer shots and still retain a larger shot pattern on those close and quick shots.
For squirrel, I prefer to use full choke for a number of reasons. First, squirrels are fairly tough to kill so the larger shot numbers on target is a benefit. Second, as squirrels often present a non moving target, for close range a hunter can simply hold off of the squirrel and kill it with the side of the pattern without tearing up too much meat. For most other game that presents moving shots such as rabbit and grouse the hunter needs to make their choice based on the expected distance of the shot.
Target shooters competing in skeet, trap, sporting clays or some other sport will need to match their choke to the expected range of shot. Close ranges need open chokes and longer ranges need tighter chokes.
While this short article cannot cover everything that a shotgun shooter or hunter needs to take into consideration use the information as a starting point to avoid frustration with clay pigeons, ruined meat from too much shot, and worst of all a wounded animal.
