My most humiliating misses occurred just this past weekend, in front of company. I have had few opportunities at geese in the past but on Saturday I called in three separate loners, two specks and a snow, and missed easy 30-40 yard shots at each with my ten bore hammer gun. Each time I thought I was on it, and couldn't believe that they didn't tumble. Are they flying faster than they appear and I missed behind, or slower than they appear and I missed in front? Immensely frustrating but at least my calling seems to have improved. Next season....
Most misses are either behind or over. Behind, obviously from not enough forward allowance. Over, from not keeping a good cheek weld on the comb. Been there, done that, got that t-shirt.
