Model: 09020 • UPC: 723189090203
When your hunt depends on precision and performance, trust the Carlson’s Black Cloud Mid-Range Choke Tube (Model 09020) — expertly designed for Winchester 20-gauge shotguns and optimized for modern steel and non-toxic loads. Built from heat-treated steel and finished with a titanium coating, this choke tube provides unmatched strength, corrosion resistance, and pattern consistency. Whether you’re targeting ducks over decoys or geese crossing mid-field, the Carlson’s Black Cloud Mid-Range Choke delivers dense, even shot patterns and dependable long-term performance in the toughest waterfowl environments.
Engineered for Waterfowlers Who Demand Precision
The Carlson’s Black Cloud series is designed specifically for use with today’s advanced steel and non-toxic shot loads, such as Federal Black Cloud® ammunition. Its Mid-Range constriction provides the perfect balance between spread and density — ideal for shots between 25 and 40 yards, the sweet spot for most waterfowl encounters.
The 09020 choke’s internal geometry is carefully crafted to reduce pellet deformation and improve pattern uniformity. Each shot produces a tight, consistent cloud of steel pellets that hit with authority — ensuring clean, ethical kills on ducks and geese.
Durable Titanium-Coated Steel Construction
This choke tube is built from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, known for its exceptional strength and longevity. It’s finished with a tough, corrosion-resistant titanium coating that adds a slick surface to reduce fouling, resist rust, and ensure consistent performance even after hundreds of rounds in wet, muddy, or salty conditions.
The titanium surface also reduces friction between the wad and the choke, ensuring smoother transitions and more uniform shot patterns — shot after shot, season after season.
Precision Fit for Winchester 20-Gauge Shotguns
The Carlson’s Black Cloud 09020 is precisely machined for Winchester 20-gauge shotguns using the standard Invector or Invector Plus thread pattern (verify compatibility with your model before installation). Each choke is CNC-machined to tight tolerances to guarantee perfect alignment, secure fitment, and repeatable performance.
The extended, knurled end allows quick installation and removal by hand, even in the field, while the laser-engraved markings make choke identification easy in any light.
Mid-Range Design for Balanced Performance
This Mid-Range choke offers the ideal constriction for the majority of waterfowl shots, producing tight, effective patterns without over-choking your loads. It’s the go-to choice for hunting ducks over decoys or geese working at mid-distance.
Expect smooth pattern transitions and exceptional pellet retention, giving you tighter clusters and higher energy on target.

Patterning and Usage Tips
Pattern your shotgun with your chosen choke and load combination before hunting. Each firearm patterns differently depending on barrel length and load.
Start at 35 yards to evaluate pellet density and shot distribution.
Use with high-quality steel or non-toxic loads for best results. The Carlson’s 09020 is safe for steel, bismuth, and tungsten-based ammunition.
Clean periodically — while the titanium coating resists fouling, light cleaning after every few hunts will maintain performance.
Match choke to your hunting conditions: Mid-Range is ideal for decoying ducks and geese; switch to a Long Range Carlson’s Black Cloud choke for pass-shooting or open-field hunting.
