  • Understanding screw in shotgun chokes, just the basics. All shotguns are patterned at 40 yards with the exception of the .410 bore which I believe is patterned at 25 yards but the same percentages apply.

    The garden hose was one of the best and simplest explanations of a choke I've seen.

    If I knew it was as easy as taking them to a garden hose, it would've been so much easier.
