Sporting clays with a S/S

[Richard Flanders]

The only thing I changed between stations is which bbl I shot first. If the first bird was way out there and the second much closer, I shot the left bbl first. Seemed to work, especially when the second bird came in slow at 15yds or so; those 34" guns weren't very good on that one. The best shooter in the group had an annoying habit of standing right behind me when I was shooting and sometimes tapping me on the shoulder just as I was about to call "pull" and telling me where to shoot the bird.... WTF?? I couldn't get him to just leave me alone. Very annoying. It's not that was wrong really; it was just rude. I thought he was going go find a bridge to jump off when I outshot him at any station! That part was really fun... Maybe next time I'll make sure to take my 24" gun, or better yet a hammer gun. I agree; O/U, S/S; it makes no difference. The O/U is just the current fad. The same shooter (Mr. shoulder tapper) that said "two bbls s/s is too confusing" also commented that " I don't even see my bbls when I shoot and don't have a front bead on my gun". Go figure. Is it just me or are those statements at odds with each other ??
