What range is a modified choke?
20 to 35 yards
Modified (MOD) The modified choke is most effective from 20 to 35 yards with lead and with steel shot at 25 to 45 yards. In a 12-gauge, its measurement can be 0.019 and 0.020 inches (or . 711 and . 710 in).

Modified Choke: While it may still be possible to shoot slugs from the gun, it is not recommended for the long-term health of the choke.
Is a modified choke good for duck hunting?
A modified choke tube (0.020”) is the best choke size for duck hunting. It allows for all-around performance for both decoying and passing shots. All types of shot and shot sizes can be put through a modified choke tube with no issues. Full chokes are specialized chokes for long distance shots only.
Which shotgun choke is most important?
A slightly choked barrel is much more efficient than a true cylinder and inspires confidence, too. Many 12- and 20-bore game guns are over-choked for their task. Tight patterns may be a means to cleaner kills at longer range but they are an impediment at shorter distances because they demand more accuracy.
Is a modified choke good for Buckshot?
This choke is often used for trap shooting, waterfowl pass shooting, turkey hunting and buckshot loads. Modified: This choke has less constriction than a full choke, delivering approximately 60 percent of a shell’s total pellets in a 30-inch circle at 40 yards.
What is the best choke to use for waterfowl hunting?
Can you use a modified choke for steel shot?
When using steel shot, you should only use stainless steel choke tubes with modified or more open chokes. You should not use steel shot with Extra Full, Full, or Improved Modified Chokes of any kind. If it is a fixed choke barrel, we do not recommend using steel shot, as it may damage your barrel(s).
What is the best all around choke?
Light Modified, which I refer to as the “forgotten constriction,” is a great all–around choke for everything from trap and sporting clays to ducks and upland birds. I call Light Modified (Lt. Mod.)
