If Tom Knapp,Tim Bradley or Tim Flanagan can barely break seven thrown clay birds in the air with a fast cycling afromatic I find it a bit of a stretch to believe that Ripon could kill seven birds, while changing guns with his loader three times, before one hit the ground. I know the above shooters have broken more clays than that in succession, but even seven is quite a feat.
Two is my record too, Destry. Latest was closing day of last waterfowl season when a flock of geese came over us just as the woodies quit flying into a beaver pond (deadening, if you're an Arkansan). As I always use a two barreled gun on the dove field, it will take some doin' to get three, eh?
