Factory extended optima hp vs aftermarket chokes

[Falconflyer]

Patternmaster claims the shot string is reduced up to 80%. how in the hell they determine that is beyond me.

Here is what I know, shooting bluebills with my factory choke vs the same constriction on the Carlson's equals night and day difference. I am not swatting nearly as many cripples with the aftermarket choke. I agree it seems gimmicky, but my personal experience says otherwise.

The ultimate proof is how it works in the field or at least how it's perceived to work in the field. And I'm not saying that your experience is imaginary but if a certain load or choke or other equipment boosts your confidence then it's worth while to use it. I've certainly found that I do better with guns that I've shot well before with rather than ones that I haven't done so well with, not just in shotguns but with rifles too.
