Shotgun Chokes Explained

[@douglasdunning6216]

Basically the tighter the choke restriction the denser the pattern will be on a target at a givin distance variables would be the shot size used and changing the distance. Improved cylinder and modified are good choices for clay pidgeon shooting while full works well for Turkey or waterfowl hunting. When a shot gun is discharged the shot first comes out in what is called a shot string of about two to two and a half feet long as it travels forward it opens up into a pattern this,of course, all happens in a fraction of a second. Older scatterguns were manufactured with fixed choke restrictions while our newer ones have the invector system,removable and selective for what ever choke or combination of chokes you desire for an intended purpose. I hope this is additive info for what these two Brits were showing us.

[@dr.phil-federalinspector6023]

These two Brits are full of shit anyway...Browning should never let these guys near weapons...because the countries are so different anyway...And their shooting styles are way different than the USA...mate!

[@lerb33]

Such a helpful video, and the coments bellow too, specially for a beginner shooter like myself. Thanks for taking the time!

[@elijahcollier4547]

this is a good video that can explain the differences in chokes to my class mates during my duck hunting presentation

[@srspower]

+Elijah Collier I hope it went well :)

[@markearls8828]

As a relative new comer to the Shotgun shooting world I have found your instruction videos incredible helpful. Well done keep them coming.

[@srspower]

+Mark Earls Thanks for watching Mark :)

[@SUST777]

Does a choke reduce or increase the knockback of the weapon?

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Nice to see you can have a little fun in the UK with guns.

[@RiojaRoj]

Yea we get chance to play a bit, and hopefully not shoot anyone in the process : )

[@scallywag762]

As a first time gun owner and clay pigeon shooter this video as helped me thank you

[@FlyingDarkLord]

A nice introduction to chokes, eloquently delivered, at a level appropriate for a beginner like me. My grateful thanks

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching mate and don't forget to check out 'shotgun cartridges explained' and 'shotgun cartridges: plastic vs fibre wad' :)

[@boffin6969]

Very well done gentlemen. Very informative and after 25 years of shooting, I was finally able to visualize the differences between shotgun chokes. Very cool - thank you for your time and effort!

[@stevethatcher101]

As an absolute beginner I found your video very informative and easy to follow.

[@srspower]

Steve Thatcher I'm glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching :)

[@arlenleffmann4966]

I think you did a great job of explaining what the different chokes for. Which is why I clicked on your video.

[@btulley123]

My wife and I are just embarking on Shotgun as a joint hobby; like all hobbies there is a lot of "Im cleaver than you" myths about guns, cartridges and chokes to name but two. I found the cartridge and chokes clips extremely clear and the demonstrations just re in force the narrative [a thousand word paint on picture - i.e video demonstration]. At least I have a rough idea now chat cheapo cartridge to use as a start to miss my targets...... thanks again - very helpful.

[@srspower]

I'm glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching :)

[@diobarroga3509]

I'm just glad some one took all this time and effort to explaing this. Especially for me, which i have just starting shooting shotguns. Thank you!

[@srspower]

No problem at all, I have quite a few other similar videos you may find useful. Check out my explained playlist. Thanks for watching :)

[@RiojaRoj]

Great, I understood the basic idea anyway but good to see the results for real. Only found your channel by accident but now a regular. Thanks !

[@Rumpole1000]

Atlast I now understand what chokes do. Very well explained and demonstrated. Thankyou (From Australia)

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching and don't forget to sub! :)

[@HILUXCHAINSAW]

In the UK you can own shot guns up to a maximum of 3 shots on a shot gun certificate, there is no limit to how many you can own and they can be fitted with sileners. Rimfire, center fire, air rifles (over 12ftbs) and shot guns with more than 3 shots go on your Fire Arms Certificate. You can also own silencers/moderators for these For pest/hunting you must use hollow points, polymer tips(like V-Max) or other frangible ammo. Most can keep 600 rounds of each caliber owned, no limit on cartridges.

[@user-dn9yc9hg7j]

Thanks for the video. Just bought my first shotgun and it comes with a few chokes. Found this very informational. I an pretty knowledgeable about rifles and pistols but im a little ignorant about shot guns. Keep up the good work

[@rdm1000]

Also just bought my first shotgun. Videos like this one are the go-to learning center . Want to learn about chokes? Watch a video. Want some input on a handgun you are contemplating? Watch a video. Want comparisons on multiple similar firearms? Watch a video. My new shotgun comes with 3 chokes. I could read the instructions, but where is the fun in that. Not only did I get a good explanation here, but had the added benefit of an English accent, and automatic improvement to any presentation in English. It was also very useful to see the differences in the shot patterns resulting from the different chokes. May I simply say, Bravo.

[@Zeppelin1160]

I've just started to develop more interest in clay, skeet shooting and perhaps bird hunting, so I appreciate the lesson on the chokes and how they're applied to a shotgun.

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching :)

[@danz111]

Shooting towards a road.... what a genius!!

[@ianevans67]

That road is way out of range for a shotgun

[@RoughAroundTheEdgesWood]

I know this video is older but I just got an over under shotgun. Did not know the difference in chokes and what they do. Thank you for this video it was very informative for me. 👍

[@srspower]

That's why I made it. I too was a novice at that time and was just passing information on. I am glad this helped you :)

[@timwilsononline]

Very informative - thanks for taking the time to go through the different chokes and showing how to insert them into the barrel. Really appreciate the added detail. I'm thinking about getting into clay target and am still coming to grips with all of the terminology. Videos like this one are gold!

[@srspower]

I'm glad you found it useful! Have a look around the channel, particularly the explained the series. I will soon be doing a video about cleaning and lubricating your chokes as failure to do so, over time, can make them cease up and not come out. Thanks for watching :)

[@damoxx]

Hi just had to say I loved this video. Im thinking about buying my first shotgun and didn't really understand all the terminology and the American videos didn't really help. Glad to here a brit explaining it all! Thanks again.

[@arleatham]

Great video man, the best video that explains chokes so far. I'm gonna go out tomorrow and test my chokes for some trap from the 30 yard line and find out which I like best.

[@srspower]

Andrew Leatham Glad you liked the video. Check around the channel as I have made a few videos like this. Thanks for watching :)

[@arleatham]

Yeah I just watched your video on the different shell types and that was a great video as well!

[@redcruben]

The top barrel is the same weight wether you shoot the top or bottom barrel first, it is the fact that the bottom barrel is closer to the point of resistance( your shoulder) that reduces the lift.

[@si_vis_pacempara_bellum4906]

2 minutes in, I already got what I want. Good video sir! Thank you!

[@mattwaite7175]

Very informative and excellent visuals for taking the explanation of the chokes into practice.

[@srspower]

+Matt Waite Thanks for watching, check out my other videos, I use 'shot and see' targets for similar test now.

[@maxhickling4857]

Just a note, generally your meant to have a tighter choke in the bottom barrel in a o/u that your shooting bottom barrel first, this is due to the guns being mainly used for driven pheasant, partridge and duck the first barrel will be used at a bird farther away, then the top barrel used (with a wider pattern) for when the bird has got closer .

[@srspower]

+Max Hickling Many people shoot the top barrel first so they can reload after a single shot more quickly. But either way you want a wider choke for your first shot and a tighter one for your second because on the second shot after a miss the chances are the bird will be further away.

[@joseywales7958]

Excellent discussion on shotguns.

[@srspower]

+josey wales Thanks for watching :)

[@aimeedowling7169]

No It is a bolt action with a 2 round clip if you want to see a picture the model # is 385kb it can hold a 3 in. Shell or a 2 3/4 in. Shell this shot gun is pretty cool also I did some research this gun is a bout 40 years old as it was purchased in 1974 any ways hope you have a good day

[@RastamonU812]

I appreciate the explanation, shooting, and learned way more than expected!

[@dhern2613]

Great video guys. Just brought my first shotgun and your video was a great explanation followed by a great demonstration of the different chokes to help me choose. Cheers

[@taranroberts9413]

This covered everything I didn't know about chokes great stuff. Of course my old Cooey has a fixed full choke but still good info

[@srspower]

Taran Roberts I'm glad you found it useful and thanks for watching :)

[@GreyMannShed]

Hi there I'm just getting in to shooting and just wanted to say I'm finding your videos very informative Thanks very much Ben

[@srspower]

I'm glad to hear it! And thanks for watching :)

[@mikekurzhaar8843]

hello friend, I have a doubt about the factory chokes, that they leave "gaps" in (30yards and up) comparison with branded external chokes?

[@gerardkinsella6034]

Have a 12g auto 2+1 just bought never fired a shotgun before i have 71/2 28grm cartridges,and 36grm eley alphamax+ bbs size #0 70mm shels what size chokes should i use for both cartridges ,its says use max 900 bar cartridges in the manual what ever that means any advise would be great for a newbie will be mostly shooting clay Pigeons or the odd fox👍

[@SteveDentonClassics]

Good video, cheers for explaining it, just brought a Browning 525 Light Elite and looking forward to using it with the different chokes

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching :)

[@chicagojohn5207]

Another very informative video for people like I who are new to shotguns. Unfortunately, my "American" gun has no choke capability, but I intend to try it on a trap field anyway, just for fun. Having seen Tom shoot on this video and the one explaining shot shells, I would recommend having him do all the shooting on any future videos, while you do most of the talking. :)

[@srspower]

Cylinder bore will still do the job out to 30 yards especially if you are using plastic wad shells. Tom generally does the shooting in instructional vids yes but I am getting better, check out my latest video of me pigeon shooting :)

[@outdoorinteriors955]

Great job guys! Really informative!!! Just came off a pheasant hunt yesterday in wisconsin and this explained a great deal. Thank you. Tim from Chicago

[@srspower]

+Outdoor Interiors Pheasants are in season here in the UK too, I did a video recently doing some walked up Pheasant Shooting great fun! Glad you enjoyed it Tim and thanks for watching :)

[@bennyyMHR]

good video, quite surprising how much spread there is, just a note, improved cylinder is 1/4" modified is 1/2, improved modified 3/4" then full.

[@1rusmar]

Great video! Very informative, excellent illustration. Really well done!

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching :)

[@joelcrmt]

good vid man! I have a full fixed chock on my semi that I try and shoot clays with and it really doesn't go as well as I would like! does allow me a few extra seconds to get on target as the clay get further away. definitely not a criticism but just who I have been told is that there are chokes tighter then full called extra full for turkey hunting. also I have been told that foster or rifled slugs shoot the best and most accurate out of an improved cylinder.

[@shlimdog95]

Just got a Winchester 101 o/u and there's no chokes but the barrels are marked top modified and bottom improved cylinder I use for clays as got it for good price but it's really a game gun

[@srspower]

+YourFatMumFlys Anything within 30 yards will be fine with that setup :)

[@Thereal111t]

Ever try self choking ammunition? Like federal flite control or Hornaday versatite? I have a gun with a fixed modified choke and it makes the gun acceptable for turkey hunting.

[@srspower]

No I haven't heard of that, i will have to look it up! Thanks for watching :)

[@markpeterman9202]

Would have been nice if you drew a circle for the pattern of each target to emphasize the differences in the spread. What size shot were you using? 7.5? 8? 9?

[@adlerbr12]

I'm having a hard time killing ducks at about 40 yards what choke would you recommend..

[@adlerbr12]

what if i take the chokes off completely and shoot what kind of spread would i get and would it damage my gun barrel?.

[@gerrykennedy9392]

An excellent presentation - a very useful and informative video, explained really well and delivered with enthusiasm, awesome!

[@nyronparton7850]

I’ve got a 12 bore Rizzini and need some chokes, can I buy any brand or does it have to be Rizzini chokes?

[@ralphperez4862]

Very informative. Thanks for the video. The wind was a little bit tough to hear through, otherwise an excellent demonstration. Thanks Amigos.

[@MissShaftable]

My question is, What does it mean when a barrel has stamped on it either, Modified choke, Accu-choke, or Full choke? I'm new to shotguns and I just got a Mossberg 500 and want a barrel that I can screw different chokes in, but when I see the words on the barrel say accu-choke or modified choke it confuses me.

[@srspower]

It's all in the video! Other than accuchoke but i believe accuchoke is just a brand name for mossbergs selection of chokes. On my Browning they are called invector plus, just branding. Modified however is a half choke. Thanks for watching :)

[@buckshotaaa]

The results seem to indicate a gun fit issue with the payload generally impacting to the right of the aim point with both shooters.

[@Newphonewhosthis13452]

I'm an American, this was great thank you.

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching from across the pond :)

[@welditmick]

Hi. firing the bottom barrel first has nothing to do with having the weight of the top barrel stopping muzzle flip on recoil. Otherwise it would work the other way around? One point is that the bottom barrel is more 'inline' with the stock/shoulder to help reduce muzzle flip. 1/4 + 1/4 chokes are are probably all you need at most sporting clays, 1/4 +3/4 chokes are a good all round for game etc. I did like the choke comparison of shot in the field.

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching :)

[@allcot6219]

Question.How does the shot affect the threads in the barrel with no choke or is a choke required at all times.

[@srspower]

A shotgun barrel is either removable choke, like in this video, or it is a fixed choke/cylinder bore. If it has removable chokes then yes a choke of some sort has to be fitted even if that choke is actually cylinder bore and so doesn't choke the shot at all. The reason is that inside the barrel it tapers out and has threads to accommodate the removable choke. If you shot with nothing in there the barrel may break and the threads would definitely be damaged.

[@SandpiperN121PP]

So being new to guns and eager to learn all I can... here is a question.. does the choke you use also affect the travel distance of the pellets?

[@srspower]

It has no impact of the power of each pellet but it does keep them closer together for longer. The more spread out they are the less overall power the target receives. So they increase the effective range rather than the actual range.

[@piersmarchington]

awesome video mate very informative and nice cinematography

[@mopaysmozil]

Nice video. Sorry don't want to sound rude, i apologise first hand but what's with your friend and his "A yes" 8:58, 9:06

[@srspower]

Tom is rather eccentric, much of his speech consists of:- 'yez' 'Nooo' 'Maybe ...' 'Ok!' Hope that helps :)

[@erg0centric]

Yarp.

[@siciliancapeverde4646]

I almost forgot. Hope you got yourself some plastic snap caps for that nice OU so you can safely decock the gun when not in use without dry firing. Keeping the internal strikers in the cocked position can weaken the striker springs, these are a good item to have, as dry firing a double barrel or an Over & Under can damage the breach face, as well as the strikers. Keep up the good videos bro.

[@srspower]

If it was anything other than a Browning I would agree! Keeping it cocked won't do it any harm, not in my lifetime anyway. And I don't like pulling the trigger indoors.

[@robertward3753]

+srspower 100 % agree, you don't need snap caps for what he was doing.

[@bigkenny1585]

Is it ok to shoot where there is car traffic in the direction of the projectiles? The demo was informative but didn't seem like the safest location.

[@peteacher52]

Thank you indeed. Since 1971 I've heard shooters talking about choke in their scatter-guns, but trying, in ignorance, to relate it to the automotive choke, it meant nothing to me, even when an accommodating man at the gun club lent me his nice Browning under & over to have a pop at the clay birds. A nice piece indeed, was that cannon and I didn't want to give it back! We were shooting No 4 shot in home reloads - No 4 because that was the best bet against brush tailed possums up in the trees, or a careless bunny in the beam if you were lucky. Cheers, Col, NZ.

[@srspower]

Colin Gantiglew Thanks for watching Colin :)

[@si_vis_pacempara_bellum4906]

Off the topic question, can people in the UK get semi auto shotguns? I've watched many UK gun channels, but almost all the channels featured over'n under or regular bounce barrel break action shotguns..

[@srspower]

+Si_Vis_Pacem Para_Bellu Yes they can under 'section 2' they can have a pump action or semi holding up to 3 shots. Under 'section 1' you can buy a pump or semi auto with any capacity. My Winchester SXP holds 10 +1.

[@deepnegi1730]

Choke diameters in mm. Please tell me

[@scalenefiend38]

I would have liked if you would have explained how to tell the chokes apart.

[@LedZeppelin13k7]

I honestly thought guns were completely illegal in the UK. You learn something new everyday...I'm wanting to get into trap shooting and I've always wondered what the fuss about chokes was all about. Thanks! :)

[@srspower]

+LedZeppelin13k7 Not at all, lots of Americans assume that. I do lots of shooting. Take a look at my channel trailer it may surprise you. ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnOkl2unitqYeMk

[@borbors]

apparently full choke is not the best for 00sg (9 large pellets mainly for pigs and deer)you need to go one down from full as full choke makes the pellet spread erratic. That's what the guys at the gun shop tell me anyway.Would like to know if you tried 00sgs with other chokes or if you will make a vid on this subject

[@Sink30]

great video! i am new to the shot gun world and this has a lot of great information and was well put together. Thank you for explain this and being very clear with the information. Great video!

[@Zhengyis]

thx for the video whats with slugs ? should you use any choke with slugs ?

[@robertgann8148]

Where did you get that choke key? very nice one.

[@5598JC]

Very informative video thank you Can you tell me the make of your cammo jacket i thought that was well detailed

[@srspower]

Well the jacket itself is made by Rocky Mountain, costs around £100 but I would recommend spending a bit more as it doesn't breath very well. But the camo pattern is 'realtree APG' and it very common on a wide variety of jackets, it is even used to camo shotguns. Probably the best hunting camo you can get. Thanks for watching :)

[@simonbon100]

Great effort and I enjoyed watching your video. I just purchased a Browning GP TRAP which comes with 5 chokes, IMP, IMP MOD / LIGHT FULL / FULL / and EXTRA FULL. I need to pattern these at around 40 yards which is where I expect to be hitting the clays. Do you have a video of patterning at this distance? Thanks.

[@srspower]

I patterned steel and lead shot at 40 yards with a modified choke in this video:- kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJzafHSvdtKtnbs

[@silecek1]

hey . what sort of carts were u usıng . cuz felt wad and plastic wads make huge difference in the terms of pattern imo

[@branni6538]

We called them quarter, half, full etc. Never knew they had posh names. We mainly used full and 3/4 chokes. Better to be a better shot than rely on wide spreads to hit target. Mind yerself if using lead slugs with a full choke.

might be dumb question havent realy used shotguns much usaly rifles but have gotton a winchester 37a 20 guage with improved modified choke barrel can this shoot slugs and buckshot?

[@srspower]

yes it will shoot either fine although tbe slugs will need to be the regular foster type that look like they have rifling.

[@Putuj_Igumane]

nice video - thank you very much! for the steel amo for clay pidgeon shooting - what kind of choke would you suggest considering the pressure that builds up because of steel?

[@srspower]

+divermg Steel tends to pattern tighter than lead. Any choke is usually good other than full.

[@The2highProductions]

Shot string is a big part, matters more between Mod/IM for shooting birds.

[@spikewanner8486]

what kind of choke should I use for shooting 3 inch slugs? And what should I use for shooting Winchester superx 3 inch 4 shot?

[@srspower]

For slugs, I would check with the manufacturer but ELEY Bennekke suggest a modified (1/2) choke. For number 4? Really depends on how far away the target it that you want to shoot and how good a shot you are!

[@jamesworth3296]

Okay, you want a few comments, the reason you fire the bottom barrel first is because of law of physics, for every action there is a re-action.When you shoot the bottom barrel the return force comes directly back to the rear, if you study the configuration of your gun you will see that the bottom barrel and the stock, right back to the heel and toe, is in a straight line therefore the returning force is able to come back smoothly whereas the top barrel is and stock are in a S shape, more or less so the back force has to find a course which in this case is not straight and therefore flips the barrel, not always up in many case it can be down. The full choke is 40thou constriction of the bore size, therefore a full choke if measured correctly cannot be a three quarter choke, that would be 30thou constriction. Having said that, on production guns many bore sizes do differ from the norm and one size constriction could be tighter or more relaxed than the advertised bore size, you can, as you know, "reduce or tighten your perceived choke" by using different make cartridges. I see you wing shoot, so you will know that the tight choke is fired first because the quarry is further away, when it come closer the open choke is the one preferred. While William W Pape of Newcastle on Tyne is usually attributed with the invention of the choked barrel, Winchester invented the mobile choke system,i,e the screw in choke. Be glad to help you with more information if required.

Dick head

[@josephcampese5347]

@James Worth....starting with your 3rd to last sentence. Thank you, thank you,thank you. And frankly I'm embarrassed I didn't figure that out for myself. That is precisely why you use (a) choke(s). Targets are generally dynamic, not static. Again, thanks for the clarity.

[@connorsutphin7289]

how does a your standard turkey choke compare to these? is it your basic full choke or is it a little more?

[@adirondackrebel5215]

turkey chokes are generally extra full or 2x full or triplex heavy theyll be labeled

[@ericferguson9989]

I know it's useless, but I like the spiky door breacher chokes!

[@thomasnielsen1007]

As a newly licensed hunter I really enjoyed the video. Couldn't see any the hits on the target until the full choke though..

[@srspower]

Yes the target wasn't overly clear. If you check my 'Steel vs Lead Shotgun Cartridges' video you will see I have a better method for making targets that stand out now. Steel vs Lead Shotgun Cartridges Thanks for watching :)

[@GazzerG2000]

Good Vid again. Simple and informative to us new shooters.

[@srspower]

[@robertward3753]

Interesting, but I would of liked to of seen a close up. Of the pattern of shot.

[@newhuskytwenty]

In an over and under shotgun which barrel shoots the front trigger if it has two instead one single trigger as yours?

[@srspower]

If its a double trigger the first trigger fires the bottom barrel the second the top. On a single trigger like mine (or nearly all modern OU guns) you can select which barrel shoots first by pushing the safety to the left or right.

[@newhuskytwenty]

***** Ok, thanks

[@Robert_L200]

ive just got my first shotgun and was wondering what chokes you would recommend. the clays i shoot are fairly close 20 -30 yards and the game i shoot is around 30-40 yards. the shotgun came with cylinder an improved cylinder in would this be ok for the clays and improved cylinder and modified for game thanks

[@srspower]

+Outdoorsmen Sounds about right yes, modified and improved are the standard config for game.

[@Robert_L200]

[@Pyroteen99]

Thank you so much for this video I am just about to apply for my shotgun license and the clay ground that I shoot at we're saying what chokes are you going to get on your gun and what type of gun are you going to get, but this videos has really helped, one quick question , I'm left handed and a few gun shop owners and clay pigeon instructed said I need a left hand gun to make my shooting perfect , do you agree with that and could you recommend a good gun for the price range of about £400-£500.

[@mastocytoma1]

Great video and explanation! Thank you sir!

[@megasif]

I think you should do IM or M on the bottom and F on top b/c you want to concentrate your pellets when the bird is far and flying away. You would normally shoot bottom first and you'd shoot bird at a closer range on the first shot.

[@joehunt1980]

Really good comparison video guys.. I noticed in your Shotgun Cartridges Explained video that you have an assortment of Fibre Wad shells and was wondering how well they pattern through each choke compared to plastic wad shells :-)

[@richardpymar9302]

Very good video. I am a beginner and would like to know if 1/4 and 3/4 choke is OK for any game?
