I find that I shoot it better if I extend my left hand (I'm right handed) farther out the barrels than I typically place my hand on a side by side. Not sure why, but it seems to work.


The traditional style of British Grey partridge shooting is left arm fully extended, reaching out and "touching"the bird.

Edward King, MD of ASI UK, is on YouTube demonstrating the style while demoing some of his wares.

The long bird pheasant shots do not use that style. Much more deliberate in their effort.

FWIW, the young royal's shoot in this fashion as well.

Out there doing it best I can.
