When I break the first pair of birds strongly I tend to shoot the remaining pairs fast. I know what the lead picture looks like and I want to do it again as quickly as I can. Ejectors facilitate that.
Now, when I miss a bird on the first pair I will slow down a bit, replay the lead picture in my mind, and decide how best to correct the mistake.
It's just me, but I love ejectors. My Beretta 20 ga. SPII Sporting, that I bought new before the first dove trip to Cordoba, was pretty much broken in by the end of the first day's shooting. It has had somewhere between 15 and 20K rounds through it with no ejector, or any other, problem. When on a dove field I don't trap the hulls but let them fall around my stand. At the end of the shooting I police the area and pick them up. Doves sometimes come in "flurries', and one wants to make hay while the sun shines, as it were.
