Here are some examples of my less than stellar wingshooting. Cannot wait to get back out there and start missing again this fall!
And why, today, remember misses?

Just a possibility -------- different shells have different velocities,,, hence you need to use the same shells all the time, year after year. Some hunters switch shells often and miss most of the time.

I wouldn't say I miss MOST of the time....

sight in your shotguns before going out.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

Ha ha ha, those misses have a way of burning into the gray matter, never to be forgotten by your hunting buddies.

Ha ha ha, those misses have a way of burning into the gray matter, never to be forgotten by your hunting buddies. And that's why I hunt alone now....buddies always tell me "thank you for scaring them my way"...

I never miss....I kill the ones I want....the others I "shoot at" to make them more challenging for future hunters.....

go shoot a round of sporting clays with a buddy that knows what he is doing or a instructor - it will help iron out any problems
I had to lose all my self taught shotgun gun shooting problems. before i started shooting well in sporting clays
Shoot with someone that can tell you what to fix !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
