"At least when it comes to upland hunting, more people are undoubtedly over underchoked rather than under overchoked. Too often we think of more open choke as being a crutch for poor shooting viable substitute for good shooting."
I don't own a shotgun with a cylinder choke. In my 40+ seasons of upland hunting and shooting pen-raised birds I can recall 2 instances of inedible birds. In the last 2 days I've killed 6 pheasants with 20ga choked light full; no more than a thigh was wasted.
My experience does not lend credence to the argument that the flip side to "spray & pray" with an open choke is mangled birds.
