    In high school I used to hunt pheasants with my 20 gauge H&R single shot. I would carry a second round between my middle and ring finger of my right hand and would get doubles (I would like to say “routinely” but that would be a lie) 

    With regard to semi-auto, I agree with Joe.  In shooting sports, as well as skydiving, the “old school” way of thinking has a way of sticking around for a lot longer than it’s actual efficacy.   Modern, well maintained semi-autos are 99.99% reliable.

     

    I always heard the best weapon to be used in a bear attack is a small caliber pistol.

    You use it to shoot your hiking/hunting/camping partner in the leg, then make your escape!


  2. I stand by my comment and wouldn't  consider this a laughing matter.  I was taught to release the pilot chute with the arm fully extended.   I also jump with a hook knife, would rather have it & not need it than need it & not have it.
