That sounds like a family average of 5 shots per bird. Wayyyyy better than I’ve seen a lot of folks shoot. Most folks don’t know but if you will let doves get within 30 yards before you start shooting then the odds of hitting them go up exponentially.

Maybe a little over 2 per bird Saturday. Had one shot at a ringneck and missed on a long shot.

Less than 2 per bird on Sunday.

Usually take 1 box of shells to each hunt and leave with the limit if there's enough shot opportunity for one

Saturday I picked up 15 and lost 2 with 31 shots. My avg varies depending on the shoot. On my fields I have shot forever my avg shots is lower than a hunt I am invited on in most cases.

If I would shoot at birds that I know I should kill instead of maybe can kill, it would be a lot higher. I like to smell gun powder though. grin


Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

My phone screen does not always work right, usually a lot of misspelled words....

I've killed 12-15 with 20 shots and I've killed one with 20 shots. It all just depends on a lot.

Opening day we went to a shoot with about 30 guns on a 10-15 acre field. frown Your only safe shots were straight over top of you.I won't discuss my shot/kill ratio,but I'll be damn if I do that again...

My best run is 164 straight birds without a miss. Of course, I had shot several thousand birds that week already.
