SEAN3513 7 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 basically chokes change the shot pattern a barrel with no choke will give you a very wide shot pattern.......full choke will give you a tight choke pattern at the same distance. when to use them is a can of worms and simply couldnt be explained in a few sentances ,but, from the above it should give you some idea. cheers sean Quote Link to post
