Unfortunately that happens anyway even if the shooter picks his target. If I had a dollar for everytime I shot at a bird in a flock or even a couple together and watched another one fall, I could probably buy a nice used (or new?) shotgun."Flock shooting" happens at one time or another to almost everyone, who bird hunts. It is probably loved more by ammo companies than bird hunters. And as a method of harvest would probably get some support from PETA. The only real problem with it, IMO, is wondering how many birds fly off, apparently unharmed, with a pellet or two lodged in their guts.
Pass on them. Goldeneye generally don't taste that great. Hold out for a better species.A picture of an example. What would you do or expect to happen in this situation if you shot?

I should have been more specific that this example was not specific to Goldeneye. Waterfowl and some game birds also land with this flight approach. If it was a target species you are after is the goal of this photo.Pass on them. Goldeneye generally don't taste that great. Hold out for a better species.

Or simply stand and blast them as they flair. If worried about hitting more than one, wait till they split. On more than one occasion I have purposely targeted two geese bumping into each other as they flaired and dropped both birds.The answer is obvious, wait until they land, then shoot...

Another reason I pass on diving ducks.What would happen to ME that situation????
I somehow manage to clip both of them with one shot, then proceed to go through 10-12 shells trying to finish them off as they dive and up pop at the outer limit of my shotgun's effective range.
WOOOOOW,so beautiful double barrel shotgun... I love them!Yes that is original wood. It is the middle gun here and is a British made Webley 12 gauge with short chambers. The real prize is that far right shotgun with original presentation grade wood.
Here is a 2 inch shell to compare to a 2 3/4 inch shell...
