How many shots for how many kills?
On average? Yours worst? Your best?
I have had one of those nasty days: it took me five shots to kill two kudus. Three shots were complete misses, the others were clean head shots.

I've smoked that Ds J.
On a recent Freestate walkup shoot I fired 11 rounds in a day and only hit a single guineafowl which flew off disdainfully.

Isn't one supposed to, or rather: isn't it allowed to miss from time to time with a shotgun?

Haha, I hope so as I then surely qualify as a shotgunner. The pigeons and guineas agree BTW.

Any flying animal is fairly safe when I enter the ring with a shotgun 😉 .
My expectations differ between rifle and shotgun. My rifle skills are good enough that I expect an animal to go down when I shoot, with a shotgun it is almost the opposite.
Missed shots occur, and wounding shots too. I prefer a complete miss to a wounded animal.
