Great Day At Trap Range

[midlife]

My game is getting little better. Shot 22 yesterday. And 22 today. And that was even with bead falling off after 20 shots.

Thanks for all the tips. Here's what I've changed:

Raised comb about 1/8 inch to raise poi
Switched to 1 oz loads for single shots
Wearing contacts and shooting glasses
Watching bird. Moving deliberately. And shooting with more lead.
Still working on follow through.
Getting better shooting lefty w both eyes open.
Shot with full choke today. Bird explodes when you are on!

Most fun I've had in years!

Nice! I want to try shooting traps and skeet myself, waiting to bust my shotgun out of jail this week.

I'm jealous. I'm envying the benelli super sport. Held a 28 inch today. Felt great!

Congrat's, leave the bead off. You shouldn't be looking at it.

I'm still learning! I'd look for real coach.

Without a bead I get weird glimmer down barrel when I mount it.

It was a great, but kind of weird day. First round I was on my way to a 23 or 24 before the white bead on front fell off.

Then I bought a stick on fiber optic bead, and ran 18 straight on my second round. Then the new bead fell off, and my round went to hell!

Then I exchanged the stick on for a magnetic fiber bead, and shot ok on my last round.

Still was a blast!

I was more or less asking if you wanted to go shooting

Beads don't help you break targets, they keep you from hitting them
