The mini, which tries to simulate quail, is only about 2½ inches in diameter, five-eighths of an inch thick, and weighs 1.2 ounces. It can be solid black or orange. Because of its size, the mini often appears to be going faster than it is, and because of its light weight, it slows down more quickly than a standard or midi target. A good strategy for the mini target is to wait for it to slow down and become more visible before shooting.
This tip came from the book ??Shotgunning in the Automatic Mind ?? The Guide for Shotgunners and Instructors? by Warren Watson and Mike Wilfley. This coffee-table-quality book, crafted for durability in the field, is filled with instructional illustrations to accelerate your shotgunning skills. Find out more at www.shotgunpublications.com.
