-----------------------
Tip:
When walking up game always keep a steady slow line to prevent the birds
from running and rising out of range. Never shoot horizontally into a
cover, not seeing where a shot will end and injuring another gun is too
often a result.
Tip:
Remember – it’s your bird only when the bird is coming to you and not
anyone else. 45 degrees left or right. Courtesy is best.
Tip: Push safety up with thumb when the gun is in the ready
position. Remember safety first and don’t become over eager.
Concentrate, staying calm and confident.
Tip: Point the barrels at the target throughout the entire gun
mount and pulling of the trigger. Remember the barrels shoot where they
are pointed. |
