I kill most of my birds with the second shot (I get surprised often as well). Single shots can be great bird guns but....as Ted has mentioned, even a third shot can be very useful. Maybe it's different for other folks but... I've never found grouse hunting to be very predictable. Options for additional shots are usually a good idea in the environs where I generally find myself.
