The thing that makes box birds so hard is first: you don't know what box they are coming out of.
Second: the birds get an electrical shock at the same time they are ejected out of the box, which gives them a five foot head start.
And third: You have 16 yards to make the kill. Dead over the fence is a lost target.
I missed a 30 straight in Louisiana because one bird died stone cold dead 3 feet over the fence.
I've shot tons of field trials, and even a couple of retriever trials with mallards, and trust me, box birds are a lot tougher!
