We know about bird hunting in the UK and Spain and the great shotguns that are built there for that. I have never read about wing shooting in central Europe othernthan ducks and pheasants in Hungary but we have a proliferation of beautiful shotguns from Germany. But as beautiful and well built as they are most have impossibly tight chokes and rather cumbersome looking cheek rests as if they were meant to be aimed at game.

I have a couple of drillings that I hunt furred game with and have shot a couple of ducks and pheasants with and shot a fair round of trap with, they feel like the shots are more deliberate than with a true bird gun. I would like to get a nice Sauer or Simmson to case with my Sauer drilling but wonder if it would end up just being a shotgun only version of my drilling.

A little insight to wing shooting/shotgun use in Germany would be helpful.

Thank You
Oskar

After the first shot the rest are just noise.
