Any wounded birds I have to deal with anymore are grasped in hand with breast to palm.I'm right handed so bird is in right hand gun is in left and made safe.Hold gun perpendicular to body with butt to the right.Smack the bird in the back the head on stock with a snap of the wrist.Skull is thin and usually one sharp crack is all it needs.Never damaged a stock since break is on opposite side.Occasionally you'll get a drop of blood but that whips off.
Clean and quick roll gun over up right and insert two shells and back to work.
Works with all birds except turkeys and the occasional wet duck(big ducks).
