Interesting article, Kyrie. I only take one exception to it all. The best pigeon shooters are not shooting the first barrel at a bird that is 30 yards out. That first shot is usually taken before the bird gets 5 yards from the trap/box. A very common idiom one hears around the flyer circles is . . . . "waste the first shot". IOW, shoot so quickly that you may miss. But, the best don't. They learn to connect with that first shot, dumping the bird, then, shooting it again on the ground, or at least crippled as it tries to fly towards the fence.
