Mojo Outdoors – Fatal Shot Choke Tubes

A joint effort between shotgun patterning kingpin Rob Roberts and Mojo resulted in a series of short-, mid-, and long-range chokes waterfowlers can trust. Dubbed the Fatal Shot Series, this lineup of chokes was created using computerized pattern analysis machines combined with years of choke-building experience. Helping you get the most out of your shotgun, the Fatal Shot produces excellent patterns with all types of loads, eliminating the need for toting several chokes to the field. Made in the U.S.A. from 17-4ph stainless steel, all Fatal Shot tubes can be changed without a choke tool and are available for a wide array of shotguns.

TRUGLO – Titan Adjustable Choke

What if there was a do-all choke? You know, one that would work for busting ducks and geese, but be equally as effective for upland birds and sporting clays. You'd roll the dice and give it a go, right? Enter TRUGLO's Titan Adjustable Choke. A simple "screw-in" motion is all it takes to turn the collar of the choke tube and "click" it into position. Each choke setting is laser-engraved to ensure you have the choke mode you want, and in seconds you can go from Cylinder to XX Full. The Titan accepts all waterfowl loads, including steel, bismuth, and tungsten.

Briley Chokes – 360 Click Quick Change Choke System

Made to fit an array of shotguns, Briley's new 360Click Quick Choke System is turning heads. Waterfowlers can make a quick swap with a rapid interchangeable choke system that requires only a single turn to remove or install the choke. Why is this important? What happens when geese are falling into the spread, and then, later in the day, when you lack a bird or two to scratch out a limit, they swing wide outside the spread. You can make an instant adjustment when you can change a choke fast and without hassle. The 360Click Quick Change Chokes are made from aircraft quality 17-4 stainless steel, and are available with a black oxide finish.

Kick’s Industries – High Flyer Choke Tube

Kick's High Flyer chokes are pure waterfowl killers manufactured from 17-4ph stainless steel and a new camo finish is available. Designed to work with steel and non-toxic loads, this choke is offered in a fearsome foursome — improved cylinder, modified, full, and xfull — to give you a full range of options. Diagonal ports save shoulder abuse and reduce muzzle jump, meaning you can get back on target and pull more doubles and triples. Camo chokes are available in 12-gauge only, but black finish High Flyer options can be had by 10-, 12- and 20-gauge shooters.

Patternmaster – Code Black Goose

A goose-crushing classic is Patternmaster's Code Black Goose. Designed over a decade ago, this extended choke tube is a favorite of waterfowl hunters and guides worldwide. A patented stud ring comes with all Code Black waterfowl chokes, and three-phase construction means you can bank on the tightest patterns possible. Testing by Patternmaster puts the killing range of this choke farther than most of us can hit flying birds. All Code Black tubes are titanium-coated with a non-reflective bronze finish.

Carlson’s - Bismuth Bone Buster

I've threaded plenty of Carlson's chokes into my shotguns over the years and will continue to do so. They produce great patterns and perform as advertised. New for 2022, and one I can't wait to get my hands on, is the new Bismuth Bone Buster. Bismuth is the latest shot rave, and Carlson has responded by developing a pair of Bone Busters (Mid-Range/Extended Range) designed to produce excellent, dense patterns with all forms of bismuth loads. The chokes are CNC-machined from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel and showcase a more extended parallel section inside. Both tubes will handle steel shot and steel/bismuth mixes; however, Carlson's recommends not using shot larger than #2 when shooting steel through these.

Benelli – Crio Chokes

Benelli treats its Crio shotgun barrels to create a uniformed, smooth surface for wads and shot to travel down. The process works well, so Benelli  went the extra mile and did the same to its chokes. Whether crushing sporting clays or dumping ducks and geese in the decoys, these extra-long choke tubes, coupled with friction throughout the bore, help put more pellets on target.

The T2 is a mid-range choke, a flooded-timber win, and a tremendous on-the-X goose choke. Roberts' T3 spent years in the making. He wanted to make sure everything was just right, and now, using the most advanced technology available, this long-range choke helps is sure to help you reach out and touch those ducks and geese that seem intent on flirting with your range.

Muller Choke Tubes – Müller H2O Waterfowl/Hunting

The definition of precision. A trio of chokes from Muller —Decoy, Passing, and U.F.O.—gives waterfowl hunters options. Muller H20 Waterfowl/Hunting chokes are available for most every shotgun on the market and come with a 60-day money-back guarantee, so there's zero risk when you decide to give this threesome a try. My guess, though, is you won't be sending them back. Each choke features a ceramic matte-black exterior finish that is glare and rustproof, and G.S.G. (Gun Specific Geometry) guarantees deadly patterns.
