I have a good friend who's a member of that organization that shot a double on Ruffed Grouse this past season, two dead in the air at the same time, but one of the birds took off an instant before the other---his double didn't qualify. I like our definition better.
That's pure sheepdip! There are some things that simply can't be controlled by the shooter. The honor should be bestowed upon the shooter for his skills, not for his good luck for Pete's sake!
