That surprises many people, until they see the totals at the end of day. I shoot with two shells between my left hand fingers and reload after each shot unless I have a close doubles shot. By days end I will exceed the shell count by an auto because of the reload time. Last time I was with my son, he thought I was joking, no way I would beat an operator with an auto, he had my 391 Beretta 20ga sporting gun a very fast and easy shooting gun. End of each day he was behind on shots and I had more birds.

Hard to believe, but I learned this on my first trip, on the days I shot the Citori, I beat the auto gun end of day total. Oh, I also wear a sporting clays vest, the pockets are higher than a shell pouch, which is important to the speed of reloading. I also use only IC chokes.
