I've shot both ducks and geese on the wing with guns weighing 15 or 16 pounds. It's not really that tough, you just don't shoot real quick. Takes a minute to get the gun picked up and moving, once that's done it's just wing shooting like any other.

D,

I was hoping you would add to this. I remember some pics you shared with us of you in England or Scottland shooting a big 4 bore.

Did any of those boys share any stories of long shots taken with those big guns. ( I mean long shots)
