X-rays, MRI's, and PT are stepping stones to satisfy the Insurance Company. The only way for a Doctor to know is to open it up and look. Been there done that. Went in for a small repair and the Doc found out it was massive.
Rotator Cuff is a challenging recovery, but once completed, very much worth it.
You are looking at the short term, worrying about one season of duck hunting out of your entire life time.
Try looking at long term affects of never having it done or putting it off until the it gets much worse and full recovery is NOT possible.
Just sayin'.
Best of Luck!
