I don’t often write “two parters” for this column, but last week’s topic demands a follow-up. To recap, last week I explained the math a hunter needs to mentally calculate when shooting a flying duck with a shotgun and how it’s seemingly impossible it is to be able to mentally do the needed calculations in only a couple of seconds - especially since most days, every shot a hunter attempts is different from the last and likely different from the next. Change the distance of the duck, the speed it’s flying, the angle it’s flying, whether the hunter is shooting nearly straight overhead, nearly horizontal or other variables. Each change requires a new, mental calculation.
