Straight and level bang. Here in my area dove hunt clubs are $600 and I cannot reason it for what you bring home to eat. Fun yes, worth that no.

That's my favorite shot the one right at you and yes you have to have little screen in front of you and only rise up when he is upon you then start behind it and pull to right past the beak and PUFF.

love those pics and that was me way back in the 70's and 80's back when I was a damn good shot and could really puff them and had my best retieving Lab ever Joe T Black. Nowadays with way my eyes are just not hitting them like I used to so mostly crappie fish after opening morning and play host to long time hunting buddies. This year was the WORST as very few birds were flying on the MDC sunflower fields where they didn't make much seed and nothing on ground to attract them. WE still had great time with wonderful meals and good time was still had by all in talking about old times.
