Please, someone correct me if I am wrong. It is my understanding that when trap was in its youth here in America, and live pigeons were released from the 'traps' a shooter was allowed two shots at the bird and it was determined to be a 'dead bird' even if it was killed with the second shot... and a miss if both shots failed to bring the bird down. If a shooter cared to compete in this early game with a single barrel shotgun he would be handicapping himself, right?
