I've never touched one, but go on youtube and check out some of the earlier editions of Wild Boar Fever. Prince What's-His-Name runs one like a machine. They've since switched to Sauer 404s.
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
