Now Skeet...iffin I buy a "slug-shot" shotgun and it dont shoot werth a hoot..I'm gonna come up yonder and drag you down to Virginia by yer ear!
Seriously tho..here's somethin weird...I aint never in all my life shot a shotgun, er any gun fer that matter, with both eyes open.
After readin yer post, I asked the better half iffin he shot his shotgun with both eyes open. He says on runnin game he does! Well..now that he's in the doghouse, so much fer the "better half" part. LOL
Kiddin again..sorry.
Not bout the one eye thing tho..so I sat here like a retard "pretend" swingin at runnin game with both eyes open and I caint see a difference. I've killed alotta game "my way" over the years..so iffin I attempt it now I would probaly miss like crazy. But I wouldnt mind tryin some skeet out fer general principle to see iffin maybe I could benefit from holdin my eyes open.
Ya know..I aint never put a terrible lot of thought into how I was shootin. I always shut the eye that felt comfortable and made myself learn how to shoot that way. I'm also a lefty, and I learned at a young to shoot a right-handed gun. Have shot em fer years and a left handed gun seems awkward fer me now. I dont like automatics..so I never have to worry bout shells flyin in my face. when I was lil, I learned to use a right-handed pump. And lemme tell ya, I can safely pump the shotgun and draw another bead in a split second..and never have a shell hit me. I reckon I kinda adapted to the punches the werld threw at me.
Edited to say: we have never been able to hunt w/ a rifle in our county until 2 years ago, and fer that you gotta be 10ft offa the ground. Which means that all (er the majority)of the gun-season deer was taken with buckshot and most were probaly runnin.
Just a point to say historically...it can be done w/ buckshot.
