Shotgun choke constrictions play an essential role in trap, skeet, and sporting clays. The choice of choke can make or break a shooter’s performance, affecting the spread and density of the pellet pattern as it leaves the barrel.
Shotgun choke constrictions are designed to manipulate the spread of pellets, thereby determining the effective range of the shotgun. The level of constriction in a choke dictates the degree to which the shot will be condensed upon exiting the barrel. Generally, the more constricted the choke, the tighter the shot pattern will be, and the further the effective range.
