Default RE: What kind of gun to use?

I don't mind that he missed, I've missed, most everybody will sooner or later. It was him admitting he couldn't even see the bird when he shot that bugged me. He anticipated the bird would enter an opening where he could shoot and he pulled the trigger. His second miss was probably due to misjudgin yardage. He stopped counting at 50 paces, and he hadn't reached the spot the bird was when he shot. That's too far for me. I know other guys have a setup that allows shooting at 50, but my standard full choke limits me to 30-35 max. So, I purposely set upin spots whereany bird I can see is already within that range.

I know hunting, and hunting for a camera, are two different things, but some of these guys try a little to hard to get one killed on film. After the second miss I got up and turned off the TV.
