When it comes to hunting small game like quail, rabbits, and squirrels, selecting the right shotgun choke is crucial for maximizing your success. The choke determines the pattern density and spread of your shot, directly impacting your ability to hit your target.
Improved Cylinder and Modified chokes are two popular options for small game hunting.
1.) Improved Cylinder: This choke offers a good balance between pattern spread and penetration, making it versatile for various hunting scenarios. It’s suitable for both close-range and medium-distance shots.
2.) Modified: This choke has a slightly denser pattern than improved cylinder, providing more penetration. It’s ideal for medium-distance shots or when hunting smaller game that require precise placement.
