This Is the shot that the duck hunter encounters frequently, although It does not present Itself very often When such a In upland bunting. chance does present Itself, however, whut do you do to score a hit? For years, as a boy, I wasted shell after shell trying to connect with fast flying ducks coming In directly overhead. Sometimes they would not be any more than thirty yard high. Invariably I would score a miss on them coming In. Not a few of the times I would then turn around and drop the bird going away. I couldn't understand why I was missing the Incomers. Older heads than mine were bothered by the same puzzling shot One old duck hunter and a very successful hunter he was, too once told me that It was useless trying to kill a duck coming In on this kind of shot. His explanation was that the shot simply would not penetrate to the bird's vitals shooting crosswise through the duck's "Let 'em heavy breast feathers. pass." he counseled me, "and shoot Into 'em from behind, the way their feathers lay, and you'll kill 'em every shot." This didn't sound reasonable to me. I had a very wholesome respect for the speed nnd penetrating power of shotgun pellets at SO to 4.1 yard range. One day, sitting In a cornshock blind I had rigged up for myself. In came a flock of about a dozen blue-win-g teat They were coming straight over me at about 35 yards high, and they were coming fast. My concealment was so constructed that I knew I would never be able to get out of It In time to shoot at them going away behind me. As they whirred Into me I pulled up on the leader, gave him wha t I thought was the proper lead, and What happened so amazed fired. me that I forgot to shoot the sec ond barrel. I had shot at the lead er and killed the lost bird in the flock! Which meant that I had shot behind the bird I pulled on and missed It by a good six feet. When I examined the dead bird I found its breast right where Its feathering was the heaviest was neatly punctured by four 4's. So I reasoned my old advisor was wrong. And If No. 4's would kill through the breast feathers of a teal, they would do the same thing to a mallard, or even a goose. And the whole trouble was that I wasn't leading my overhead Incoming shots enough. I couldn't figure out why such a big lead was necessary on this type of shot. All I knew was that you had to double your lead and that whenever you did It this way yon scored. I had proved It. That was enough. Rut It wasn't until some years later that I ar rived at the correct explanation Here It Is: On the overhead Incoming shoot you of course can't see your target at the Instant you pull the trigger You "bury" the target, as the say ing goes. Rut the Instant your eyes lose sight of the target your hands and arms unconsciously stoj the swing of your gun. The result Is that. Instead of shooting ahead of the target with the proper kill lug lead, you actually shoot almost at the target, and by the time the shot charge gets np there the duck has already passed the danger polnl and the charge tears a large hole In the air behind him. A good rule to follow on this type of shot Is to pull (lend on the in coming duck and then. Just at the Instant of firing, swiftly Jump the muzzle up over the target so that It will seem to be shooting at point about twice as far in front of the target as would seem necessary. In other words, try to "double your lead" a very good rough es tlmate of what It seems you are do Ing when yon do It correctly. Try thtis see how readily It solves the "puzzle"! . today the la Tight Shoe?
