Sounds a bit like the British sour grapes after getting whipped by there lessers in the 1901 Anglo-American match wink

"A good game shooter would not consider that his ability was tested in its most important points when the game always rose at one spot in front of him, in the way it did in this Anglo-American competition. Even when several rises are used, as they are occasionally under the system called ‘unknown traps and angles,’ the limitation of rise and of angle is too great to be considered first rate practice for game shooting.

I think what the author was saying was that it is possible to groove a repetitive target, as in Skeet and ATA Trap, and that flying birds don't behave in such a predictable, repeatable way.

And I would agree.
Primarily in the acceleration and curling areas.
A knot of Teal is a very testing target.

Out there doing it best I can.
