Well, major league baseball hitters can see the direction & speed of rotation on a 100mph + baseball coming straight at them. A pointed 40 mph phez, maybe only 10 mph when it first gets up, 10 feet away, flying on a diagonal, SHOULD be easy, even for an old man like me. Maybe thats why goose misses so much!? He cannot see.
 
There are lots of reasons we miss. Fatigue, surprise, mental distraction and (my favorite) poor gun mount all come to mind. I’m not able to see the red patch around a pheasants eye, but the birds that I end up shooting at are generally flushed at a distance of more than 10 yards. I do practice mounting my gun with a mag light in the barrel in a semi-dark room to get a better idea of where the barrel is actually pointed in relation to where it’s mounted. I can swing the gun this way along the joint between two walls or the ceiling and a wall as well.

I step on one yesterday and threw some lead at it. I wish I could have thrown two or three more at it.

I know you remember that last day when we were up in South Dakota…. 3-4 points and layups whiffed by me. Honestly it was in my head so much I didn’t even want her to find another one. That all happened in about an hour and a half. Funny the day before I made several that were much harder in those blizzard conditions we were hunting in.
