I noticed that His Lordship (Limey dude in the plaid shooting jacket) re-mounted his gun(s) after the first shot before he took the second barrel (rearmost trigger) about 60% of the time during this ultimate shooting contest. Same gun mount and left hand position each time- all 3 12 bore side-by-sides were AYA shotguns? I have heard of both a "matched pair" and also a "composed pair" but a trio? Very interesting, although they used clays- would like to see the same results on real driven high pheasants. I wondered about the chokes and shot sizes used- for this shoot on clay targets, and if the same chokes and loads would work on driven birds? Shattered clays are fun, but nothing can compare with the crumple and drift of body feathers from a rooster pheasant well killed in flight. Jolly Good work, Lads, jolly good indeed..
