OUTSTANDING VIDEO.!! THIS GUY NAILED IT.!! THE INFORMATION IS THIS VIDEO IS ON POINT...

Nice to see an informative, no-frills video on the “notches.” I recently bought a gun with no other markings on the chokes; and the owners manual did not even mention them. Now I know. Thanks!

Best educational video I have ever seen on youtube. You explain things well.

I’m new to shotguns and finally found someone to explain the notches. Thanks

Great explanation. New to dealing with chokes, so your video was very helpful

Greatnjob. Greatly appreciated. Useful when all you have on your tubes are notches

Awesome video. I have been shooting my entire life but have never used a shotgun. I've used mostly handguns and some rifles. With all of those years of shooting experience everyone assumes I know it all. I was military police and am a retired Detective. It wan't until watching your video that I understood the differences in "gauge" and what a "choke" actually was. I easily could have damaged a weapon or injured myself or someone else by just buying a shotgun and shooting it without knowing about the chokes, etc.. There may be many more people in my same situation. Thank you very much for a detailed, thorough and informative video. Great job all around. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info. I just purchased a used Tristar Over Under. Came with two external choke tubes. I know nothing about these. After watching your video I now know it has an improved modified and a modified choke. I plan to occasionaly shoot clays. I friend has suitable property and a thrower. I hope that these will serve my purpose as I have learned the expense of purchasing new chokes. Guns seems to be in good condition and I paid just under $500 for it.

Great video mate explained in layman's terms made it so easy to understand thumbs up 👍👍👍

Excellent video!!! Thanks buddy!!!

just got into shooting, i enjoyed the lesson. Good job

Thank you i think you may have saved my shotgun i had a 3 notch tube installed from the manufacturer luckily i hadn't shot it now i put the 4 notch tube in so thanks again.

Great job man, this explained everything!

Thanks bro i hope to be doing a live show once a week to answer questions or do small things like you just asked Thanks for watching

Thanks for this video, I just bought my first shotgun, helped me figuring out which choke is which, because they didn't have writings on them.

Cool video for some helpful info for this newb. Thanks!

thanks for clarifying chokes for me !

I myself never cleaned my choke and it got so stuck I rounded the wrench markings off. Ended up selling it with a choke that'll never come out. I make sure I clean it now in my new 11-87! can't wait for duckshooting.

Excellent vid......thank you from the UK....

Very helpful! Thanks a bunch.

I always wondered what them little notches on my tubes meant....TKS!

Good video thank you helped me

Thanks this was a big help

Bought my first shotgun with a choke this year. Thanks.

@MyHollowpoint cool hope this video helps you out will do a video on wich to use for wich application

Thanks for the info bud.

Answered my question... thanks

Thank you so much

@TheJeffrozz glad I could help

Good vid. Thanks for posting !

Cool! i never noticed that! Nice vid!

Thanks for your video helped me

Thanks

Thank you.

Thank You

I use a quarter to change my choke tubes works fine never owned a tube wrench of any kind. Remington 870

I use my pointer finger to tighten them you dont need a wrench

Thanks buddy

@mba2ceo will do soon

Enjoyed your vid. Thank you, Question, can i shoot riffled slugs through a MOD choke?

Thanks for the video. I have a quick question. Can you damage a gun buy shooting the wrong choke with a shot size? For example I have a EXT. Full choke and 3 in mag. Turkey loads 2 oz 4 shot. And can I shoot buck shot and rifled slugs with this choke too? Thanks

Thank you very much for making this, very helpful! I am new to shotguns. Just recently purchased a Remington 870 pump to get on my feet so to speak because I would like to get into trap. I would like to get something built for it, "over unders" I believe they call them?(correct me if I am wrong) But any recommendations and about how much should I be looking at spending(roughly)?? Thanks again!

thx mark r Scranton pa

My carlson's extended ported choke tube threaded for invector plus always loosens up after a round of trap.

What is the tightest choke you can shoot a slug out of? I want to have have an in case surf shotgun with the versatility to shoot slugs, buckshot, and birdshot. So anything will help, thanks.

Will 5 Choke run a Slug Tighter . Maybe a 4 ? Thanks

can you tell me about the size of the extended tubes, of .655, .660. .665 and .670? I know that it has something to do with the tightness of the pattern, I shoot a remi 870 express magnum 3 to 3-1/2" hevi shot, for geese and turkey and does it really matter?? thanks, Gene...

which marking can I shoot a slug through ?

FYI my Remington VersaMax chokes are the reverse with 6 notches for full. Just learn the notch number for your brand.

@SoulSurvivorX2 thanks that's some funny chit :)

Thanx . I bought a CZ and lost the book, I kinda thought what the notches mean .but did not want to look like a complete idiot . Thanx again.

00 buck 2 3/4, 7 1/2-9 p?? What’s the best choke for it?

Can i shoot steel pellets on a full choke?or whichever choke ?

@23mrcowboys how do you like the ruger red label?

@johndoe3307 never saw one without a notch could be extra full let me know what you find out

once a barrel has been modified to accept a choke ( my tactical Remington was), then I must always have a choke in there or I'll F-up the threads. Right?

NEVER shoot your shotguns without a choke in it unless it's a fixed or a slug barrel. The shot will destroy the threads where you screw in your chokes and you won't be able to put another choke in that barrel. For slugs, look into buying a slug barrel or a slug choke.

I have a 38" smooth bore barrel do I or what choke should I use for slugs

I'm using a Kel-Tec KSG, I purchased A choke tube adapter for it made of steel; can I use this without a choke? I'm asking because I'm under the impression that it (chokes) will negatively effect the #1 buckshot from federal premium with flitecontrol.

yes less notches tighter spread

would improved cylinder work for slugs? or is that to small? and full or bird shot? are those good?

so the less notches, the tighter the pattern further out? I presume (not assume) YES

might U show the installation ? thanks

cool bananas👍

@23mrcowboys You talking about Eric? Why hasn't he showed it? :)

What would you prefer to use on the benelli for water fowl?

Dumb question is it okay to shoot my Barretta A303 without a choke threaded in ???

I got a used shotgun and it has a choke but i don't see any notches in it.

what kind of choke should I use for shooting 3 inch slugs? And what should I use for shooting Winchester superx 3 inch 4 shot?

Can u tell us what marks are for what kind of shot like full choke 00 buck shot 1 or 2 marks 🤔 pls

I was told to remove the choke before shooting a slug I have the pardner 12 pump yes or no

have a 20 gauge with a modified choke can I shoot slugs through it

So my Maverick 88 should have 5 notches if it's cylinder?

Gotta love keyboard badasses. Guy gets ink and all of a sudden that makes him a dope head smh. And aerosmithwanabe, yeah alcohol is a drug. So is caffeine. Theyre both legal tho. It doesnt take an idiot to figure out that hes referring to illicit drugs like what is implied in the tattoo comment. Last i checked they dont call alcohol dope. Anyways great video man exactly what i was looking for.

What about a skeet choke where does that lye

mine has no notches

Ok

Which notch best for pheasant?

Question...what will happen if you shoot a shotgun with no choke on it? Is it recommended? What will happen if you shoot a slug out with no choke? New Shotgunner here...

You really shouldn't shoot slugs through anything but an Improved Cylinder choke.

for both?

Not what I was looking for. I will continue to search for a video that explains what a choke tube is for. I'm looking at purchasing a Mossberg or a Remington 12 gauge for home defense. The remmy has threads for a choke tube while the mossy does not, and i'm trying to find out what the hell they are for. Thanks for the vid anyway.

No notches ?

I use mod.

@ArabianSpringgg never did drugs never will and I'm a social drinker

Notches and names don't mean a damn thing really. If you've patterned or mic'd anything Browning you would understand. Chokes should be labeled by constriction. Benelli, Beretta, Browning, Remington, not one MOD choke matches the constriction of another manufacturer.

How in the world do you use these to choke somebody???? Calm down KZfaq viewers...just kidding! Good Chit 1YankeeCowboy ;) c

Thanks
