5 Choke Tube Revelations Hunters NEED To Know

Hunters are spending lots of cash pursuing unrealistic shotgun pattern density to the point where they may be becoming less effective. There is a misconception that denser tighter patterns are always best for hunting ducks, geese, pheasants, doves, crows, and even turkeys. The truth is that pattern density is critical to a point, but you can have too much of a good thing. Your shot pattern can be too tight, so much so that it causes you to miss or do excessive damage to your game when hunting close or mid-range.

Over choking your shotgun can hurt you. Often a modified choke is better than a full, but you should pattern test your gear BEFORE you hunt and make sure you don't have too little or too much choke for your ideal range. Other choke tube revelations include: I do not think there is any best choke tube, I have seen no benefit of choke tube porting on recoil, some chokes are rated for different metals and load specs for different guns, and steel shot is a bigger deal than I once though.
