Also, you can’t keep your aim on a target while racking a shotgun, or at least I can’t.

With a pump you can quickly add shells to the tube, without taking the weapon out of act, at least I can.

Sporting clays provides good practice at racking a shotgun while keeping it shouldered and on target.

Yeah ... I know ... the professionals use a double. That’s their business. I’m not there to compete with them. I’m there to practice shooting.

FWIW, I was also taught to work a bolt action rifle without taking it off shoulder. I find that much harder to do; practice helps.
