Thank's for the positive comments and support. When you a miss a target or bird because you did not see it clearly against the background or the wind took it at the shot, well that is just bad luck. When you miss a target that you really should have had it's time to do a bit of analysis as to why. Usually it's the result of poor gun mount or lack of concentration or both. When I begin to tire it's really important for me to set up properly and concentrate following through the shot. There are several presentations that I just can not figure out but more shooting generally results in success. Referring to the guns, I must admit that I am addicted to the Victorian and Edwardian English guns. The skill of those who built them is remarkable and we get to shoot them and care for them to pass along to the next generation of shooter's.
