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.

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.]]> General Hunting Discussion oafpatroll https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/shotkill-ratio/#post-4642 Re: Shot:kill ratio? https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/shotkill-ratio/#post-4640 Fri, 21 Jun 2024 23:02:06 +0000

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.
