I believe old Oliver (Olly) aka Lord Ripon used two loaders and a trio of Purdey hammer guns with ejectors. I think it was possible, he devoted his entire life to excellence in wingshooting, and kept himself in good shape- was blessed was great eyesight- like Harold Money, and Ernest Hemingway's father, Dr. Clarence Hemingway- which is a "must" to be able to shoot that well- hand to eye co-ordination and near perfect gun fit and balance. I say that Lord Ripon did indeed have 7 dead birds in the air over a minute's duration- as none of us were extant back in that place in time, we can only guess. As far as a computer model is concerned, well I just say the movie "Sully" and that deflates computer models over experienced pilot judgement, big time.. RWTF
