Yet he makes much of his theory that there are a lot of single pellet breaks on a skeet field. I think most of us who've watched good skeet shooters, especially with the 12ga but pretty much with any gauge except maybe the .410, would say that we don't see very many breaks that look like single pellet hits. And we know from the physical evidence that it's not unusual for a single pellet strike to result in an unbroken target.
