Shooting FITASC

[fecalguns]

May or may not be able to do it.
Thursday and Friday are probably out, taking a week vacation at the end of May, so those days more than likely wouldn't be approved. That Saturday is my FIL's B'day, I'll have to talk to the wife about plans...I'm good for that Sunday

Pm Sent.

I always shoot FITASC when I have the chance. Remember, full use of the gun on the singles, so bring 150 rounds to shoot 100.

I'm heading to Chicago in a few weeks to shoot FITASC at Northbrook. One of the premier sporting clays clubs in the Midwest.

Are you shooting in June at the championship? Main event, FITASC?

Thursday and Friday only. Not the Main.

BTW you can win money at these events. I just won today for the SoCal event.

I've been shooting FITASC for a few days now.

I tried to shoot the style at MnM Big Bonanza today. So my observations confirm that shooting this way is tough.

1) 1oz. as opposed to 1-1/8oz lost me some breaks.

2) Low gun as opposed to mounted lost me some breaks.

3) Not moving on the target until I see the bird is ridiculously hard especially when I know where they come from and so I fumbled enough to lose some breaks.

Even then I still managed to achieve greater than 50% success. I could do this.

I was watching you and you did very well with ONE exception. YOU HAVE TO SEE THE BIRD BEFORE MOUNTING. For instance on station one it looked like you mounted right after you said "pull", but before any of us could see the birds. Food for thought. If on a FITASC event they will 'dock' you a bird supposedly if you mount before actually seeing the bird.

Ok, I done did it, I just registered for the FITASC at the state shoot.
Not expecting much other than some fun...
Now a question, can I shoot reloads, or do I need factory shells?

When I went yesterday, the guy was looking over the shells and it wasn't just to see the stamping. He was really looking to the point that IMO he was checking if they were reloads or not. FYI.

You are right. It is tough not to mount. I felt herky-jerky thinking about it.
