This subject is exactly the excuse I use to buy more guns. I don't like to shoot my light field guns at the range much because they're a bit wippy and recoil is up. However, since I shoot either walked-up birds or over my retriever, a flushing bird is almost always a surprise. Frankly, I like the surprise part of my hunting very much. I don't think I could give it up. It gives me that spurt of adrenaline and I've become a junkie.
