I have a 1953 Sweet Sixteen with a Cyclone adjustable choke on it. It looks appropriate on a vintage gun. I'm also looking at a model 12 16 gauge with a Poly choke. They don't bother me at all. My Browning patterns pretty close to the markings on it and a little extra weight on the end of a shotgun barrel isn't a bad thing.
If a shooter is claiming missed targets because they find a Poly Choke distracting, I would opine they're probably missing the same targets with a standard barrel. The problem isn't the presence of the Poly choke but that the shooter momentarily shifts focus from the target to the end of the barrel to check lead and ends up shooting behind the target because they either slowed their swing or stopped it altogether.
