I even shoot skeet with safety on when calling for the bird.
Me too. Gun down, as well. Shot with 7 time state skeet champ, and he noted I was rubbing my chin when I called for my bird.
He said I got it. Hey, practice on clay birds is just practice for hunting, right?
I have a mix of guns with, and without auto safeties. Never think much about them. The auto safety hangs up on an Italian double I own, and I didn't figure it out for a year or two, because I always put it on myself before breaking the gun.
Now, I wonder if I should fix it, or not?
Best,
Ted
