pa,
They didn't say that when we were kids
Course, with 5 boys all shooting/hunting, dad didn't always have the funds to buy ammo let alone auto's for us. Also, when on a hunt, you learned to make your shots count as you only had a certain amount of ammo. Once yours was used up, it was doggin time for the remainder of the day.
Also, there were advantages to a single shot out in the field. Different from shooting skeet/trap I know but if your planning on a day of covering alot of ground hunting, an auto can get heavy for a youngster. The excitement of when that rabbit took off or that pheasnt flushed took all our minds off any recoil.
Again, big difference in a day hunting versus a day skeet/trap shooting...but maybe thoughs single shots,limited supply of ammo and knowing when we ran out of ammo it was in the briars made us a bit better shots.
