It is embarrassing, love the razing you get when you have a dry fire. |
Or even worse, Ball then powder. As person was said, "I know where the Devil is, he is in the details".

Hunting quail, dove, and pheasant growing up, I used a .20Ga side-by-side - my Dad used to say that if we couldn't hit 'em in two rounds, we sure wouldn't hit 'em in 3, 4, or 5 shots and just waste ammo.
IOW - I agree with the make each shot count philosophy.

My first rifle was a single shot .22 Win. Probably had more fun with that rifle than any other firearm that I have own.
My dad would say the same thing.
