Francis is correct.

Choke is measured by the percentage of shot inside a given circle at a given distance such as 50% of all shot hitting within a 30" circle at 40 yards.

What 99% of all shotgunners refer to as choke, i.e. skeet, is actually the physical constriction such as .005" that may likely cause the effect of a percentage of pattern listed for a skeet choke.

For those who are not shotgun crazy, as we are, the naming rather than numerical designations is easier to comprehend and remember.
