Everyone has to feel confident that they are using what is best for them. A gun with two barrels without constriction would not work well for me except on the rare day that the birds are sitting exceptionally well. For my hunting conditions I want a gun with at least the constriction equivalent of modified in the left barrel. Anything up to modified works well enough for me in the right barrel. Now, if I was shooting larger payloads or at larger targets less choke might work but a big payload for me is 7/8 ounce and I only shoot that much in 12 and 16 gauge guns. When I'm out trying to hit birds with a half-ounce shot charge a bit of choke is appreciated.
