slugs or buck shot

[skeet]

My shotgun shooting instructor once told me a really good thing to remember... When shooting a shotgun...if you see the front sight ....you're done! The meaning was..when shooting a shotgun if you look at what you want to hit... It is almost impossible to miss.... be it a flying bird or a running animal. The same holds true when shooting a slug. You shoot a slug gun the same way on a running deer. He started me shooting at flying things with a bb gun. throwing a ball up and hitting it got to be really easy...even with a bb gun. He kept making the target smaller and smaller. Eventually got to where I could throw up an aspirin and hit it 3 or 4 times out of 5. This really isn't a brag. It really is quite easy...once you get the hang of it. I have my grandson hitting small thrown targets pretty well. He is 10. My daughter used to make a bunch of the sports(goose hunters) look bad. I took them out in the middle of the day to a few farms to shoot pigeons. She was a great shot when something moved ..especially fast. Couldn't hardly hit a sitting squirrel(she finally got over that). 13 yr old gal that could outshoot almost all of them. It was funny. Taught her the same way. If you talk to a good rifle shot that uses open sights what the sights looked like on a running deer and he'll probably say...I don't know! Course he might lie a little Oh BTW the bb gun I used...well that ol feller took the sights off that gun. Just look at the target
