I can tell you this much. Loading a shotgun while a clay is in the air would be a very stressful situation for most people. I have shot plenty of poppers that will trigger a clay target you need to bust in the air, but I have never tried to reload while the clay is in flight. it is enough stress to "get on" the clay and get your swing going after having just focused on the last popper that triggers it, and knowing that the clock is ticking and you have more poppers to go. I guess it it all just what you practice doing. :thumbsup:

First, let me be a smart a....s.

It would be impressive if that was a pump gun and not an auto loader.....

:shocked::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Kidding.

Very impressive. And you are spot on about the reload. She did not have much time to reload and hit that clay. Interesting reload technique too. I could barely see the clay and it did take a couple of tries to see it. I think you see it first when she pops it.

The only thing I have done that is similiar, with my Remington 1100, I use to have it at the ready with the bolt locked back and empty. Then call "pull" and have the clay thrown and have a shell in my right hand, throw it on the carrier and press the release button on the bottom and shoulder the shotgun and bust the clay. BUT that is easier than it looks, because you are in control of when the action starts, have the shell in your hand, are not recovering from recoil of a previous shot, and you are focused and keyed up and ready to go. So her 2 reload trick is without a doubt more impressive, but I have impressed a novice or two with my starting with an empty shotgun trick.

Practice, practice, practice.

The one thing you can do to improve your success rate is practice. In my military years we practiced until we were sick of it. But when needed, we reacted naturally. Which is the intent. For this girl, there is no stress at all.

Agreed, all it takes is time to practice, and money for ammo.
