[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 4024210, member: 10690"] Yes, you do have to aim, but doubles & triples with a single shot are not uncommon. Amazingly enough, a couple of times during hectic stretches when I would just shoulder it and pull the trigger at a thousand bird cloud because my brain was on overload, I wouldn’t even draw a feather. Honestly, the most difficult part was picking a bird out of those huge groups. I was a lot better at groups of 20 or less. Much bigger than that and it got pretty hectic and hard to stay on a single bird. Hard not to get the giggles, even at my age, when 1500 birds pass over head in 3 seconds and you shoot 4 times and don’t pull a feather. The field assistants had counters hanging around their necks and kept count of downed birds. I had a couple of sessions where I killed well over 200 with 250 shots. The last morning I was dogass tired & my shoulder felt like hamburger and I killed barely over 100. I think my count that morning was 123. I shot about 70% for the trip and right at 1000 birds.
