every time i miss (which, thankfully is only 3 times ever) i NEVER get off a second shot.

i tend to just sit there, jaw dropped, blank stare... waiting for the bird that I KNOW IS DEAD to keel over. i've had toms actually laugh at me for missing them at 20 to 30 yards!


the last big un i missed(last fall), i shot at him, didnt even ruffle his feathers at 30 yds, and he stood there looking at me. i didnt even THINK about shooting again, i just sat there waiting for him to flop. after a while , i began to question whether i even shot or not!

mean while, he walks away.

am i alone with this affliction, or what?
i think its because i have taken many birds, and my gun is so deadly , that it's in my head that I COULDNT POSSIBLY MISS, and my brain just shuts down after the shot.

whaddaya think?
