    I do not do very much shot gunning at all but when I do it is almost always on clays and I am either right on the money all day long or I am missing every last one of the annoying little fuckers. The difference for me seems to be my over thinking it.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Dominant eye problem? (ie right shoulder - is it your right eye that is looking over the bead?)
