drut Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 You are not alone! For whatever reason I have the occasional day when I can't even hit the easy ones,would love to know why.I .I shoot both rifles & shotguns(more rifle) but have found the level of concentration I apply to rifle shooting to be a liability to shotgun use:Basically with a shotgun if I have time & plan a shot I most likely miss,the instinctive "out of the blue"shots I hit.If you find an answer please let me know.

Ohwell, hopefully better luck next time!! 21 from 70 is something I can only dream about not many birds about on my permissions presently and when I do get some to decoy im so shocked and excited that my shooting goes to bits, I still enjoy it though and get a buzz when my pattern actually brings in a bird or too. its what drives me to get out the next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
