Such a helpful video, and the coments bellow too, specially for a beginner shooter like myself. Thanks for taking the time!

Basically the tighter the choke restriction the denser the pattern will be on a target at a givin distance variables would be the shot size used and changing the distance. Improved cylinder and modified are good choices for clay pidgeon shooting while full works well for Turkey or waterfowl hunting. When a shot gun is discharged the shot first comes out in what is called a shot string of about two to two and a half feet long as it travels forward it opens up into a pattern this,of course, all happens in a fraction of a second. Older scatterguns were manufactured with fixed choke restrictions while our newer ones have the invector system,removable and selective for what ever choke or combination of chokes you desire for an intended purpose. I hope this is additive info for what these two Brits were showing us.

Great, I understood the basic idea anyway but good to see the results for real. Only found your channel by accident but now a regular. Thanks !

Very well done gentlemen. Very informative and after 25 years of shooting, I was finally able to visualize the differences between shotgun chokes. Very cool - thank you for your time and effort!

Excellent video, being more into the self defense, combat area of shotguns had questions about Chokes. This video cleared up many of them. Thanks

Very informative - thanks for taking the time to go through the different chokes and showing how to insert them into the barrel. Really appreciate the added detail. I'm thinking about getting into clay target and am still coming to grips with all of the terminology. Videos like this one are gold!

this is a good video that can explain the differences in chokes to my class mates during my duck hunting presentation

I appreciate the explanation, shooting, and learned way more than expected!

2 minutes in, I already got what I want. Good video sir! Thank you!

I think you did a great job of explaining what the different chokes for. Which is why I clicked on your video.

Thanks for the video. Just bought my first shotgun and it comes with a few chokes. Found this very informational. I an pretty knowledgeable about rifles and pistols but im a little ignorant about shot guns. Keep up the good work

As a relative new comer to the Shotgun shooting world I have found your instruction videos incredible helpful. Well done keep them coming.

A nice introduction to chokes, eloquently delivered, at a level appropriate for a beginner like me. My grateful thanks

Great video guys. Just brought my first shotgun and your video was a great explanation followed by a great demonstration of the different chokes to help me choose. Cheers

Good video, cheers for explaining it, just brought a Browning 525 Light Elite and looking forward to using it with the different chokes

Great video, a lot of in depth information, good for someone like me trying to eventually get into shooting... very professional video, very clear, thanks for posting.. Bill

Great video man, the best video that explains chokes so far. I'm gonna go out tomorrow and test my chokes for some trap from the 30 yard line and find out which I like best.

Great video and explanation! Thank you sir!

I'm just glad some one took all this time and effort to explaing this. Especially for me, which i have just starting shooting shotguns. Thank you!

Nice to see you can have a little fun in the UK with guns.

Great job guys! Really informative!!! Just came off a pheasant hunt yesterday in wisconsin and this explained a great deal. Thank you. Tim from Chicago

Atlast I now understand what chokes do. Very well explained and demonstrated. Thankyou (From Australia)

Very informative and excellent visuals for taking the explanation of the chokes into practice.

An excellent presentation - a very useful and informative video, explained really well and delivered with enthusiasm, awesome!

As a first time gun owner and clay pigeon shooter this video as helped me thank you

U did a great job explaining it to me thank you I got the info I needed I'll be following for this

As an absolute beginner I found your video very informative and easy to follow.

My wife and I are just embarking on Shotgun as a joint hobby; like all hobbies there is a lot of "Im cleaver than you" myths about guns, cartridges and chokes to name but two. I found the cartridge and chokes clips extremely clear and the demonstrations just re in force the narrative [a thousand word paint on picture - i.e video demonstration]. At least I have a rough idea now chat cheapo cartridge to use as a start to miss my targets...... thanks again - very helpful.

Great video! Very informative, excellent illustration. Really well done!

This covered everything I didn't know about chokes great stuff. Of course my old Cooey has a fixed full choke but still good info

I know this video is older but I just got an over under shotgun. Did not know the difference in chokes and what they do. Thank you for this video it was very informative for me. 👍

Thanxs that’s helped me a grate deal 👍👍keep the vids coming

I must say that you have some great informative Video's watch a lot and I have found that I have defiantly learned a Lot.Many Thanks

awesome video mate very informative and nice cinematography

Thank you. Great job of explaining and demonstration.

Good job guys, certainly helped me for when I actually make use of my licence.

Hi there I'm just getting in to shooting and just wanted to say I'm finding your videos very informative Thanks very much Ben

awesome presentation, clearly explained and very informative! didn't know much about chokes, now feel a bit more knowledgeable :D 5*

such a useful series, thanks for these!

Thanks much for this vid ! Since I'm just new to trap shooting and need some adive, this gives definetely a hint.

great video! i am new to the shot gun world and this has a lot of great information and was well put together. Thank you for explain this and being very clear with the information. Great video!

Thank you very clearly explained

Very informative. Thanks for the video. The wind was a little bit tough to hear through, otherwise an excellent demonstration. Thanks Amigos.

I've just started to develop more interest in clay, skeet shooting and perhaps bird hunting, so I appreciate the lesson on the chokes and how they're applied to a shotgun.

Hi just had to say I loved this video. Im thinking about buying my first shotgun and didn't really understand all the terminology and the American videos didn't really help. Glad to here a brit explaining it all! Thanks again.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Good Vid again. Simple and informative to us new shooters.

Thank you.much appreciated. Cheers

Great video! Thank you for your time! -C

Excellent discussion on shotguns.

Thanks for the very informative video

Very good video, well explained, good shots, I just came back from Patterning my shotgun makes me want to go out again Well done. JDS

Very well & clearly explained, thanks!

In the UK you can own shot guns up to a maximum of 3 shots on a shot gun certificate, there is no limit to how many you can own and they can be fitted with sileners. Rimfire, center fire, air rifles (over 12ftbs) and shot guns with more than 3 shots go on your Fire Arms Certificate. You can also own silencers/moderators for these For pest/hunting you must use hollow points, polymer tips(like V-Max) or other frangible ammo. Most can keep 600 rounds of each caliber owned, no limit on cartridges.

THANKS FOR SHARING!

Great video chaps. I'm hoping to have a chat with you at the 2019 British Shooting Show. I couldn't go this year unfortunately.

No It is a bolt action with a 2 round clip if you want to see a picture the model # is 385kb it can hold a 3 in. Shell or a 2 3/4 in. Shell this shot gun is pretty cool also I did some research this gun is a bout 40 years old as it was purchased in 1974 any ways hope you have a good day

Another very informative video for people like I who are new to shotguns. Unfortunately, my "American" gun has no choke capability, but I intend to try it on a trap field anyway, just for fun. Having seen Tom shoot on this video and the one explaining shot shells, I would recommend having him do all the shooting on any future videos, while you do most of the talking. :)

Great video brother.

Many thanks regards Alex

Very informative, much appreciated from Virginia.

Good video , thanks for posting , as a new shooter I found it very informative ;-) ...... going to watch the video on cartridges now . cheers

great video on chokes helped out alot

Tom's yes's are legendary!!

Just a note, generally your meant to have a tighter choke in the bottom barrel in a o/u that your shooting bottom barrel first, this is due to the guns being mainly used for driven pheasant, partridge and duck the first barrel will be used at a bird farther away, then the top barrel used (with a wider pattern) for when the bird has got closer .

Very informative. Thanks!

Thank you. Very well explained.

Tnx man! Really nice vid! Helps a lot :)

Thanks for the info guys !

Nice video, I've just brought a new o/u & it has Improved cylinder & Modified fitted from factory, I'm going to be using this for clay's, so I'll leave these in :-) Many thanks for the info top one !!

great job, thanks.

I’m late but great video. Very helpful thank you 😊

thx for the video whats with slugs ? should you use any choke with slugs ?

Thank you very much for the help :)

The top barrel is the same weight wether you shoot the top or bottom barrel first, it is the fact that the bottom barrel is closer to the point of resistance( your shoulder) that reduces the lift.

Thank you so much for this video I am just about to apply for my shotgun license and the clay ground that I shoot at we're saying what chokes are you going to get on your gun and what type of gun are you going to get, but this videos has really helped, one quick question , I'm left handed and a few gun shop owners and clay pigeon instructed said I need a left hand gun to make my shooting perfect , do you agree with that and could you recommend a good gun for the price range of about £400-£500.

Really good comparison video guys.. I noticed in your Shotgun Cartridges Explained video that you have an assortment of Fibre Wad shells and was wondering how well they pattern through each choke compared to plastic wad shells :-)

Shooting towards a road.... what a genius!!

Cool vid fellas, I use IM or Full in the semi auto, seems to be working for me out to 40 yards confidently, after that I get a little hit or miss, still plenty of time to practice though.

great video thank you

thanks a bunch, good video

Great video, very intresting thankss :)

Great effort and I enjoyed watching your video. I just purchased a Browning GP TRAP which comes with 5 chokes, IMP, IMP MOD / LIGHT FULL / FULL / and EXTRA FULL. I need to pattern these at around 40 yards which is where I expect to be hitting the clays. Do you have a video of patterning at this distance? Thanks.

Great video, thanks a lot!

Great tutorial!

I honestly thought guns were completely illegal in the UK. You learn something new everyday...I'm wanting to get into trap shooting and I've always wondered what the fuss about chokes was all about. Thanks! :)

good vid man! I have a full fixed chock on my semi that I try and shoot clays with and it really doesn't go as well as I would like! does allow me a few extra seconds to get on target as the clay get further away. definitely not a criticism but just who I have been told is that there are chokes tighter then full called extra full for turkey hunting. also I have been told that foster or rifled slugs shoot the best and most accurate out of an improved cylinder.

Thank you indeed. Since 1971 I've heard shooters talking about choke in their scatter-guns, but trying, in ignorance, to relate it to the automotive choke, it meant nothing to me, even when an accommodating man at the gun club lent me his nice Browning under & over to have a pop at the clay birds. A nice piece indeed, was that cannon and I didn't want to give it back! We were shooting No 4 shot in home reloads - No 4 because that was the best bet against brush tailed possums up in the trees, or a careless bunny in the beam if you were lucky. Cheers, Col, NZ.

Thanks. I found that very helpful

@srspower so u can own shotguns in england ? is that where ur from

Shotguns are probably my favorite guns of all time :-)

Very useful, thanks Lads

A set of Mandel chokes (shotgunchokes) uk are £125 ;-) Looks like you shredded the hedge by the way lol. Very useful video again thanks.

Very informative video Thank you very much

excellent

thanks for the video

Just got a Winchester 101 o/u and there's no chokes but the barrels are marked top modified and bottom improved cylinder I use for clays as got it for good price but it's really a game gun

I almost forgot. Hope you got yourself some plastic snap caps for that nice OU so you can safely decock the gun when not in use without dry firing. Keeping the internal strikers in the cocked position can weaken the striker springs, these are a good item to have, as dry firing a double barrel or an Over & Under can damage the breach face, as well as the strikers. Keep up the good videos bro.

Good informative video. Thank you sir.

Excellent presentation
