About Your Quail Hunting Shotgun ChokeA Brief Shotgun Choke GuideThere isn't much science to shooting quail. Harry VanDyke knew this. VanDyke, a carpet installer by day, also knew that the shotgun choke affects shot spread only. Still, Harry reported, "you do need to get your quail hunting shotgun choke set right. Or else your shot won't be focused where it is most lethal."
What called an Improved Cylinder give you more margin for error when the target is up close. Making it easier to hit the birds on wing. Yet it will still bring down birds at 30 -35 yards Another quail shooting success factor is shot size. #7-1/2 or #8 shot offers you plenty of killing power. (Yet not so much you kill your partner. As Mr. Whittington will attest.) That size shot with standard load will also give you decent pattern density. Hopefully this brings you up to speed on the quail hunting shotgun choke to use for best affect. So you can use the most effective pattern for the birds you're targeting.
