Which shotgun choke is the most open?

  1. Full

  2. Modified

  3. Cylinder (unchoked)

  4. Improved Cylinder

The correct answer is: Cylinder (unchoked)

The most open shotgun choke is the cylinder or unchoked option. This means that there is no constriction at all, allowing the shot to spread out widely. This is useful for closer range shots, such as for shooting game birds in flight, where a wider spread is needed to increase the chance of hitting the target. The other options are incorrect because they all have varying levels of constriction, making their spreads less open than that of the cylinder choke. Full choke is the most constricted, followed by improved cylinder, then modified. These options would be better suited for longer range shooting, where a tighter spread is needed for accuracy.
