I think this is a good summary. I don't know if the procedure made any difference, but it's a done deal. Along with choke tubes, which in retrospect, I wish I had not done.
BTW, my background is similar, though I'm a few years behind you, at 68 years.
Box birds were the game, and I was typically shooting them somewhere once a week, for about 30 years.
I had virtually quit shooting about 2008, except for a little upland bird shooting here and there.
