Targets must be moving!
« on: May 14, 2007, 02:41:55 PM »
I keep trying and trying and I just don't seem to knock down as many as I think I should.  I have come to the conclusion that the targets have to be moving, how else can you explain the missed shots.  It probably occurs the split second before I pull the trigger.  I guess it really dose not matter.  The only reason O shoot is because I love to reload.  Anybody else have a problem with moving targets.  Those darn turkeys are probably the sneakiest.

The ones I shoot at must be holding very very still. How else could I shoot circles around them. The other day I was shooting at a reduced turkey target on card board. Looking at the back of the target I could see the outline of the bird in bullet holes. LouisV

Well they are made from Ducktile metal... and they duck at the very last instant.
