Shooting a smooth bore 12-gauge shotgun can sometimes be tricky when choosing which size Choke Tubes should be used. Shotgun choke tubes are often sold in groups of three, typically Modified, Improved, and Full Choke. 20 Gauge Shotgun Choke Tubes are used to determine the tightness of the BBs that exit from a shotgun barrel. When BBs leave a barrel, they spread out over distance. A Choke is used to regulate the tightness of the BBs over distance. A choke creates a tapered constriction of a shotgun barrels to shape the spread of the shot in order to gain better range and accuracy. With top brands like Carlson's Choke Tubes and Briley you'll reduce muzzle jump and improve your overall patterns.
When hunting geese, for example, a tight choke is necessary since Geese typically fly high in the air and tightly grouped BBs are required to be effective. When using a shotgun for self-defense, a modified choke should be used, since a wider spread is required. If gobblers are more your style, Turkey Chokes Tubes are factory threaded for long-range applications with precise accuracy. Visit our Hunting Gear store for price cuts on the gear you want most.
