We had nine (!) shooters at today's Saturday (1/25/14) clinic - a good mix of some new shooters, and some clinic veterans of the Ziegler method.
Don and Richard tried something different today by having the more experienced shooters shoot through the stations (although not a regular round), while the new shooters got their orientation and basics set-up. It was good for the vets to stretch their legs so to speak and get some lead down field early. Once the new shooters joined in, it was down to business for everyone.
As is usually the case, a little time and a lot of instruction had the new guys breaking clays with regularity, and everyone was attentive and putting forth great effort. The overall results were so good that around 11:30 Don and Richard said we'd break for "dinner" (lunch in West Coast parlance) and continue with some coaching at more stations, including doubles, after the break.
Food from the cafe at Triple B's was very good as usual, and came fairly quickly as the group chatted amiably in the shade of the dining patio.
Shooting after lunch involved ample coaching and ample sweat, as it had become pretty warm by then. By the end of the session, everyone was breaking doubles and doing very well in all - a testament to the excellent and effective instruction that Don and Richard always provide with great patience and support.
In all, a great time to spend with some very nice folks, and continue to hone the skeet skills.
If you have any interest in shooting skeet, trap, sporting clays, or just a shotgun in general, I would strongly encourage coming to a clinic - THE BEST $30 YOU COULD SPEND FOR FUN ANYWHERE IN SO. CAL.
I'm just glad I had the sense to sign up early for several clinics!
Also, sorry for no pictures this time. Maybe next.
