Code Black Timber Configuration

The Patternmaster Code Black Timber is designed around the unique demands of close-range waterfowl hunting. Its specialized choke geometry provides a dedicated alternative to tighter Long Range configurations when birds are expected to work closer to the hunter.

This makes the Timber configuration particularly relevant for flooded timber, wooded wetlands, and close decoy spreads where wider pattern coverage may be preferred.

Short Range Waterfowl Performance

The Short Range designation provides a field-oriented choke option for closer hunting situations. Rather than emphasizing the tighter pattern characteristics associated with long-range configurations, the Code Black Timber is intended for applications where waterfowl are encountered at shorter distances.

Actual pattern performance depends on the individual shotgun, ammunition, shot size, shot material, payload, and specific load.

Browning Invector DS Compatibility

This Code Black Timber choke is specifically designed for compatible Browning Invector DS choke systems.

Browning has utilized multiple interchangeable choke systems, including Standard Invector, Invector-Plus, and Invector DS. These systems should not be assumed interchangeable.

Always verify that the exact shotgun uses the Browning Invector DS system before installing this choke.

Extended Choke Tube Design

The extended configuration projects beyond the muzzle when correctly installed. The additional external surface makes the choke easier to identify and provides a convenient gripping area during installation and removal.

Non-Ported Construction

This Code Black Timber features a non-ported design, providing a streamlined exterior profile without the machined ports incorporated into some other extended Patternmaster choke configurations.

Built for Timber Duck Hunting

The combination of 20-gauge construction, Short Range geometry, extended design, and Browning Invector DS compatibility creates a specialized choke option for hunters pursuing ducks in timber and other close-range waterfowl environments.

Pattern Testing

Pattern testing is recommended whenever changing choke tubes or ammunition. Test the shotgun using the exact ammunition intended for hunting to determine actual pattern density, distribution, and point of impact.

Different pellet materials, shot sizes, payload weights, and ammunition designs can produce substantially different results through the same choke.

Installation & Use

Before installing, removing, or inspecting the choke tube, verify that the shotgun is completely unloaded.

Confirm that the firearm uses the Browning Invector DS choke system and follow both Patternmaster's and the firearm manufacturer's instructions for choke installation and removal.

Use only ammunition and shot materials specifically approved for the firearm and choke tube.

Care & Maintenance

Periodically remove and inspect the choke according to manufacturer recommendations. Keep the choke tube and barrel threads clean and apply an appropriate choke-tube lubricant or anti-seize compound when recommended.

Do not use a choke tube exhibiting damaged threads, cracks, deformation, corrosion, or excessive wear.
