Years ago I had a big cheesie who hated cutts compensators. Once took the preacher duck hunting. He shot a cutts. His first shot was a miss and the dog growled at him. Thinking fast I told the preacher the dog hated missing and would bite if it happened too often. The preacher thought about it and said that maybe I should shoot first from then on. Being a kid this suited me well and I scratched that spot behind the ear all dogs seem to love.
This Christmas I was duck shooting with my son. A number of teal came into our spread at Mach 5. I killed the fourth bird in line. My son missed his two shots and was making fun that I had hit number four not the lead bird. I said with a straight face I was aiming at number three but he flaired and exposed number four when he did so. Told him I left the first pair for him. About half an hour later he knocked down the third bird in line and said it was easier done with good eyes and reflexes.
