I think your exactly right. Good enough is good enough. I hear all the time about 15 in the kill zone at 50 yds. Mine won' t do it, but I did wan' t to get past 35 and I was fortunant enough to have some friends loan me some different chokes. I did spend some on high $ shells I' ll probably end up shooting crows with but I can avarage 5 or 6 in the kill zone at 45yds and thats good enough for me. In the woods 45yds is pretty far.
