Here is my last pattern. Any idea why I would be missing my shots?

Did I do that?

He was right there ready to die but he ducked the shot.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, tired, beat, thoroughly used up and totally worn out from chasing turkeys and loudly proclaiming; "WOW -- What a Ride!"

Try turning your shell 180 degrees when loading your gun?

Shooting the paper, we all are calm, controlling beathing taking very careful aim, squeezing trigger nice and smooth.
But in the moment, all that can go to crap.
We've all done it. Dont give up youll get him.

I would say because you are shooting turkey loads and that is obviously a very large ptarmigan with a snood. You are welcome.

I love it. Ran across that photo on Facebook the other day. Stole it. Been hounding my buddies via text with it ever since.
