take it easy guys. He said it was his 1st goose hunt. It is better to let the group fly on by than it is to take some bad shots. 50 - 60 yards is way to far to take a shot at geese or any other waterfowl. 35 yards and under is the perfect distance. But that is the way you have to learn , is by making these mistakes. Everybody that is on you so hard didn' t do everything perfectly right the 1st time either. Good luck the rest of the season !!!!
