Cranfield Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I aim one inch in front of its beak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav54 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 probaly one of the hardest shots when you are decoying mate you normally just have to try and pull down through it but remenber if the wind is behind you as well the bird will have quite a shift on normally. If you can not master it try on some clays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I aim one inch in front of its beak. This is good advice, you're probably overleading the bird. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
