When it comes to safety around guns, I'm right there with you. For that matter, I get twitchy even with open guns and barrels are pointing at me (or someone). I can't stand it, it annoys the living shit out of me....

When I say too many rules example would be "gun on the shoulder before you say pull" (a got asked to do this when I did DTL - not skeet), when hunting my gun is not on the shoulder when I ask my dog to flush a bird.
So doing the same in a clay practice environment (which I am only doing to get better for hunting) does not really reflect the real life hunting situation IMHO.
