Most shooters "rhythm" begins with loading the shotgun. Its safer this way too as you are not loading up a shotgun then standing around with it. Even if "its empty" and the action is closed, ITS LOADED. Its the same with sporting clays too. You walk around with the tube empty and action open, and only load up at the shooting station right before your turn.
