Mike is not tired of the helpful posts. He is shy. Too shy to admit his real issue. It is not the accidental killing of a second bird. In fact he is very confused. Why do two birds he is not even shooting at die instead of the one he is aiming for? To him it is a mystery beyond simple explanations. Sometime teaching a hopeless student will cause the teacher to loose faith. Hang in there Mike. You will get your swing back.

I thought this was a doublegun forum, suddenly we have Red Ryder BB guns and single shot slingshots. At least I would use a rare BB doublegun Daisy made years ago :<)
I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

Mike is like a Timex and the doublegunshop forum members are like dozens of John Cameron Swayze's.

I especially enjoy exchanging ridicule with Chuck. But it is not really fair to him as I have so much more material to work with than he does.
I agree with Stan about the hardiness of a wounded bobwhite. He will frequently run fifty or sixty yards to hide in the middle of some near impenetrable cactus patches or brush. A dog that can track and find the bird is highly valued by me as I hunt with Joe Wood so frequently.
KY Jon you were describing Joe Wood's shooting, not mine.
I baby my coveys, only hunting them two or three times a season. Almost all of my coveys are flushed very near the shooter, say less than five yards.
I have seen Gary shoot and he would be better off carrying a sling shot instead of a shotgun when he quail hunts. He would get just as many birds and save about fifty cents on every covey rise.
Pilgrim as I have never hunted Yankee quail I could not compare. But I haven't had this problem until the last couple of seasons.
Skeet that would be about right for picking them off as they scratch for gravel - while resting the airgun on the pickup window frame.

If only we (okay, maybe just yours truly) could shoot a slingshot like this man, we wouldn't need no stinkin' shotguns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ieWrWLjii0

I bet, after a few flushes, Rufus could hit a flying bobwhite. Probably has.
Ted since I don't rest my cheek on the comb with a 3" drop gun I bet it doesn't make much difference whether the drop is 3" or 4-1/2". Just get the shooting eye over the rib at the correct elevation. My "doubles" this season were made with drops from 3" DAH (VH16) to a 2" DAH (Repro DHE28).
Daryl if you would like make a large contribution to doubleguncom knowledge loan that Baker to me and I will experiment with it and return it when I am done. Might enclose the addresses of your heirs because it may take awhile.
