On this episode of Tribal Knowledge we sit down again with Logan Killam. We dive deep into the world of shotguns, ballistics, and the latest innovations in firearm technology. In this episode, we're breaking down the importance of shotgun chokes and endcaps—key components that can completely transform your shooting experience. Whether you're hunting, shooting clays, or using your shotgun for home defense, understanding how different chokes affect your shot pattern is crucial.
We'll discuss how modern choke designs improve accuracy, and why the ability to fine-tune your shotgun on the fly gives you a serious edge in the field.
