Which choke is recommended for squirrel hunting in the treetops?

When selecting a choke for squirrel hunting in the treetops, a full choke is ideal because it constricts the shot pattern more than other chokes. This tighter pattern allows for greater accuracy at longer distances, which is particularly useful when hunting squirrels that might be nestled among branches and leaves.

A full choke helps to ensure that the pellets spread less as they travel, which enhances the chances of hitting a small target like a squirrel. In treetops, where shots can range in distance and precision is crucial due to the small size of the game, using a full choke helps maximize effectiveness.

Other chokes, while effective in certain scenarios, may result in a wider shot pattern that could lead to missed shots, particularly if the hunter is aiming at a small, moving target in a cluttered environment like trees.
