8 Best Shotgun Choke Tubes for 2017

While there's no guarantee they'll make you a better shot, these shotgun choke tubes are definitely worth a look.

8 Best Shotgun Choke Tubes for 2017

Consistency is what pushes today's shotshell makers and the engineers behind highly-advanced shotgun choke tubes. Keeping shot patterns together longer is key, but we all have different opinions when it comes to killing ducks. Whether you crave knock-down power, advocate smaller pellets for uniform patterns, or bigger BBs for long ranges, there's a choke tube that's just right for you.

Just remember, whether your shooting a highly engineered choke tube or the choke that came with your shotgun, it's all about getting the bead on the bird.

Mojo Fatal Shot 

More handy work from Rob Roberts, who partnered with Mojo to design a choke based on computerized data to achieve optimal performance. The FS is a port-less tube that provides a consistent point of impact and requires no tools for changing chokes. $80 | mojooutdoors.com

Patternmaster Anaconda 

Modified uniform patterns crush birds, particularly when they can reach out to 50 yards. The Anaconda Mid Range (.715") harnesses gas from the shell being fired and applies pressure to the wad, creating a tighter pattern upon exit, keeping the shot string together longer. $60 | patternmaster.com

Kicks High Flyer

Over a decade of performance and consistent bird-crushing patterns stand behind the High Flyer.
