Default Station Eight- not so great

What a silly pair of targets- Hi and Low Houses Eight present. As the late Nash Buckingham said- "Any game bird taken at that close in range would be pulped and not worthy of being cooked for the table" or something akin to that- When we shoot Mexican skeet at DU events here- we can pivot and take each single at 8 as a going away birdie- but Lo Gun rules apply, no pre-mounted gun-

I'm not a skeet or clays man- I prefer to see a big ball of feathers hangin' in de breeze after I shoot a scattergun-but check me out on this- High House 1 or Low House 7 pegs- unless you have a crossing or quartering wind of some magnitude, you are shooting at a dead straight away moving target- granted, the rim or thin edge- BUT how many birds do you flush that ever fly in a dead straight flight path?
