Tough to shoot guns that come in that light...
No, it is not. If you already know how to shoot it just takes a little practice. If you don't know how to shoot then yes, you are going to have a hard time with a light gun. And you are going to have a hard time with a heavy gun too.
I am surprised that you didn't abandon your ill conceived argument against practicing in sports. Professional football players practice, professional basketball players practice, professional baseball players practice, professional soccer players practice, professional golfers practice, professional tennis players practice, top amateur ATA trap shooters practice, Olympic trap shooters practice, Olympic skeet shooters practice. That practice is known to make one better at one's chosen sport is a well known, well documented fact. Now practice won't make me into George Digweed but it would enable you able to shoot light guns well, especially if you have learned to shoot heavier guns well.
I also have a cross eye dominance problem. My solution is to put my forend thumb up so my left eye can't see the bead or the end of the barrels. I discovered both the problem and solution while practicing by-the-way.
No doubt it is easier to shoot a heavier gun at trap, skeet, and sporting clays, especially if you are pre-mounting. But, with a little practice, someone that already knows how to shoot can learn to shoot light guns very effectively on birds.
And since I am sport hunting it makes me little difference if I shoot 16 shells for 13 birds or 13 shells for 13 birds. Or 20 shells for 10 birds or 15 shells for 10 birds. But if you are set on efficiency you might just buy a broiler at the supermarket and then go home and make chicken and dumplings instead of going out to the gun club and practicing. Much more practical and efficient.
But your statement that it is "Tough to shoot guns that come in that light" is wrong.
And you wife is a real beauty. Thanks for posting the pictures.
