This thread has been a lot of fun, and much fodder for thought. I'd still like to know if anyone has seen or handled one of those 5 or 6 foot guns.
And, why is it that when I "see" the bird (these are birds, not clay targets, mind you), I generally hit the bird?
Both eyes open, a gun that points where I'm looking, and really seeing the bird, is the formula for success for me...on very wild birds that don't wait for me to say "pull."
Thanks to those who have contributed. As always, I learned a great deal from my hard core shooter friends.
