rizzini 1 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 They give the shot a squeeze as it travels down the barrel. You can have a very wide pattern of shot with open choke. Or you can have a very dense pattern of shot with full choke. These may help http://science.howstuffworks.com/shotgun1.htm Quote Link to post

hiho 5 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 1/2 or a 1/4 choke for rabbits Quote Link to post
rizzini 1 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 1/2 for rabbits at close range. Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 1/4 and 1/2 for Rabbits out to 45 yards no problem. Full Choke will make them nice and full of lead shot. Plus, they will be jointed and cubed for you Not that full is quite that bad but its just unnecessary. Regards SS Quote Link to post

Deker 3,478 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 So...just about any choke you like... but that really IS the answer... ..........depends what the land is like, what the crop/grass/ploughed field/woods/distance/weather/season/age/sex is, etc, etc, no mention made here of barrel length or cartridge type either, or even bore, all of which will effect your choke choice, so too will the ...for the table or for vermin control question?

Deker 3,478 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 1/2 for rabbits at close range. So what would you suggest for long range rabbits; choke and cartridge advice please! (Assume 12bore) Quote Link to post
