On a warm, overcast morning, six shooters assembled for Coach Don and Captain Richard's latest Shotgun/skeet clinic. Three clinic veterans, one frustrated trap shooter, and a dad and his new-to-shotgunning daughter showed up to break some clays.
But Don was a little put out from the get-go, as the clinic was fully booked for ten shooters, but only six showed up, denying space to several that had wanted to come out this day. We were just hoping he wouldn't take it out on us.
As usual, Don and Richard were in great form, helping the vets work on areas of need while getting the less experienced breaking clays with some consistency in short order.
We all shot a couple boxes of shells through most of the stations, focusing on Stations 1, 2, 6 and 7. It is nice when vets encourage and cheer the newer shooters, and today was very nice. Everyone seemed very satisfied and had a good time.
Later, a smaller group shot a couple practice rounds of skeet, and bobbydog was tearing it up with his 28 gauge!
I've posted it before, and I'll post it again:
Whether you're an old hand at shotgunning, or have never shot before and are just curious (and want to have a great time) these clinics are the best way to:
- learn shotgun safety and safe handling
- have a lot of fun
- learn what real gun fit is all about and how important it is
- share something cool and fun with your spouse or child
- learn the best way to shoot shotguns for skeet, trap, or sporting clays
Watch the stickies over the next week or so for new clinic dates that are being added - we hope to see you there!
