motty Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I should have added: Clays slow down during flight, birds don't Birds dodge and kink about when they see you raise a gun, clays don't , A "visible chip" off a clay equals a dead bird, a feather off a pigeon often means going hungry!! Having said that, it's all about hand-eye coordination and muscle memory, so any practise is good, especially if a coach can put old errors to bed. Off to a ditch now, wish me luck!!! JK I'm sorry, Mr rat, I think birds do slow down in flight and speed up, also. That's what can make them so challenging at times. I don't see many pigeons crash-landing when joining their mates.
