True but that doesn't diminish the need for open bores and light shot. This type of shooting is instinctual and open patterns of fine shots will turn misses into hits. You have a much larger margin of error. I would venture that few birds would be taken in my coverts with modified or full chokes and 7 1/2 shot. Which is why my grandfather calmed me down when I found a high brass 7 1/2 case in my coverts. He laughed when I told him what kind of shell and the shot size and said "don't worry, that fella won't be getting any of your birds".
