Declining hearing, declining physical condition, comes together in an unintentional panic that jumps the ultra lightweight gun as fast as possible right through the site picture, to shoot 5 feet in front of the bird before it gets 20 yards. Or stop the gun to make the site picture work and then shoot behind the bird.
No truer phrase was ever uttered than “fast to start and fast to stop”.
You can listen to it all day in the grouse woods. pow pow, or pow pow pow.
I think people should shoot the gun that they want to enjoy that day, and if it tires them out before they get a full bag, well, that’s just how it is that day.
For water fowling or driven game, use the shotgun that gives you first shot kills.
