Which type of choke allows for the widest shot dispersion?

The type of choke that allows for the widest shot dispersion is the cylinder bore or no choke. This design means that the shotgun barrel has no constriction at the muzzle, which enables the shot to spread out more rapidly and evenly as it travels towards the target.

Using a cylinder bore is especially beneficial when hunting in dense cover or when shooting at moving targets at close range, as it increases the likelihood of hitting the target within a wide area. The lack of constriction allows for a greater spread of pellets, making it easier to hit quail or other small game.

In contrast, full choke, modified choke, and improved cylinder choke all have varying degrees of constriction, which narrow the shot pattern. These chokes are designed for longer-range shooting and provide a tighter shot group, which is advantageous for accuracy but not for wide dispersion. Thus, for situations where wide coverage is essential, cylinder bore is the clear choice.
