Doubles Pin.

[Dean Romig]

Well, let’s let the judges rule on this.
It was totally legal and not even considered unethical by Vt. standards.

In the spring turkey hunt it is customary to shoot turkeys on the ground.

Majority rules unless there is a PGCA committee on qualifications for a Doubles Pin.

Personally, either way is okay with me.

You should absolutely get the doubles pin...and we should be able to continue to tease you.

My, my what will you do now to feel useful in that you have passed the torch of editorship on. Thanks for all your hard work on the PP.

The slow motion Major League Baseball replay was confirmed by NY that both birds did in fact have both feet off the ground for a millisecond when hit by the concussion before the load of shot, thus they were "in flight." The ruling on the field that a pin should be awarded is confirmed.

Uh, oh, a divergence into what is a double(). Wouldn't a double include shooting two birds, simultaneously, in the air...with intent (in other words, either with one or two shots, but knowing that's what the shooter is trying to do)? I've shot two (and even three) quail on the covey rise with one shot, but for me a double is when I shoot two that I've aimed (pointed) at and intended to shoot. I've had three doubles on turkeys, but never by intention (congratulations to Dean!! ) -- always dumb luck on my part (which, now that I think of it, constitutes most of my successful shots!)

But, hey, two at a time, on the ground or in the air, is an achievement worth recognition.
