| one of us |
I haven't hunted Doves extensively but have expended a few boxes of shells at them. Something that I noticed while shooting at them is that when they were headed straight in towards me they would do a little snap roll right as I fired. It seemed to me that they could actually see the flash coming out of the barrel and would try and dodge the shot. Am I nuts or has anyone else noticed the same thing?............................DJ ....Remember that this is all supposed to be for fun!.................. | ||

They are responding to movement. Doves are fast, but not that fast. Methods to improve your shooting depends upon whether your an instinct or follow through shooter. Try to remain motionless until your ready to mount your gun. If you shoot instinct, your shot should be taken instantly, and ahead of the bird. If you follow through, the bird will react to your initial movement, but plane out on his original course, giving you time to over take his forward motion and fire. Be sure your continuing your swing after you squeeze the trigger. Doves are some of the best fun in bird shooting and will make you a better shot with practice. You might want to join us sometime in Argentina. Doves by the millions and all the shooting you could ever want.
