[QUOTE="winmag, post: 427196, member: 22166"] We were pass shootin ducks one evening. We were way up ontop of a bluff in an orchard that overlooked the game refuge. Every evening the ducks blacked out the sky on thier way out of the refuge over the private orchard, but were mostly out of range due to thier steep climb from the water to get over the bluff. Now we only had about a 20 foot lane to shoot in due to the trees and brush on the downhill side and the orchard trees on the other side, but I was having one of those rare ''ON'' days where I couldnt miss. One passle of teals bombed over at mach speed, and all the other guys missed. I still hadnt shot but had a bead on the ducks from the time they creszted the trees to the time everybody else had missed and I was doing a full ''backbend'' with my shotgun still mounted. I picked a small hole in the orchard trees and said somebody's gonna owe me a beer for this, and I torched one off. Two teals dropped about 65 plus yards away and everyones jaw dropped! (including mine!) Got a 2-fer shooting upside down in a backbend thru a small hole in the trees on Teals at 65 plus and called it too. ( Talk about luck!!!) Ive never been all that great with a shotgun, but that evening I couldve impressed Tom Knapp and Patric Flannigan. For some reason I just couldnt miss. Ive never to this day ever had a day like that with a shotgun, and doubt I ever will be able to put one togather like that again, But man was I on! Oh ya the boys git me a pitcher to myself at the pizza parlor that night for that shot:D. Some days are just sooooooo sweet to revel in! [/QUOTE]
