[QUOTE="woodsman04, post: 5294883, member: 19488"] I would think most misses from my self would be from lifting my head up. I’m pretty good at judging distance. I used to line football fields and I got dang good at guessing distances. Anyways, putting a red dot or scope takes out the raise Up or not head down error. I know what people talk about flinching. And shooting at targets with a 835 or Nova will absolutely cause it. But for the life of me I’ve never even thought about the shell when shooting at a gobbler. Some may take this the wrong way, but I think most misses are because people don’t know how to shoot, or shoot shotguns. I grew up shooting and handling shotguns. I’d get out of school and go wonder around the woods shooting anything that flew or ran from me. Some people don’t grow up shooting, they just pick up a gun shoot a few times off a bench then hunt. I may miss my next 10 turkeys in a row. But I seriously think I don’t miss many because I’ve had enough practice over the years of just shooting a shot gun. [/QUOTE]
