I don't know what that tells us....

The guy with the thinnest tread on his tires did the most driving...?

The guy with the most empties in the rear cargo pocket of his shooting vest at the end of the day shot more shells?

The guy who never made a mistake probably never tried anything?

When Tom Roster was writing a column for the American Shotgunner way back when, I wrote (yes pen and paper) asking his opinion on how to open a choke on a gun without removing metal. This was in the early eighties I was shooting a 26" VHE that was M/F. He said to simply cut the petals off a wad then use a fiber wad under the shot column to make up for the missing petals. It worked much better than spreader loads as there was still a good center density. Now a days I can't get enough choke. Funny how your perspective changes as you age.
