Which choke allows the shot pattern to spread faster?

The cylinder choke is designed to produce a wider shot pattern, which allows for quicker spreading of the shot as it exits the barrel. This type of choke has no constriction, meaning that the pellets are allowed to spread out more rapidly over a larger area, making it particularly effective for close-range shooting scenarios or for hunting moving targets.

In contrast, a full choke is designed to create a tighter shot pattern, which is advantageous for longer-range shooting where precision is key. An improved cylinder choke offers a moderate constriction, providing a balance between spread and accuracy, while a modified choke still maintains a degree of constriction but does not promote as wide of a spread as the cylinder choke. Therefore, when the goal is to have a shot pattern that disperses quickly, the cylinder choke is the ideal choice.
