    Woot! First 25!

    Finally!! My first round of 25 on Coyote Valley Sporting Clay's trap field, after almost a year of shooting.

    A while ago, I received help from a regular there who showed me that I my hold point was wrong, after that I was consistently shooting 22/23 and finally today, made the breakthrough to 25.

    I was using:
    - Benelli Supersport 12 gauge, 28" barrel.
    - Estate 1 1/8oz #8 shot loaded at 1145fps. (I'm keeping the empty box as my lucky charm )

        SuperSport, eh?

        If there is nice Benelli and there is 'nicer' Benelli, the SuperSport would be one. How can Benelli make it so strong, yet so light!

        Anyway, congrats on your 25.

            Out of curiosity, what is your hold point?

                  Thank you all!

                  Yeah, the Benelli isn't really a trap shooting shotgun but I like it. It is light, the forearm is very slim due to the inertial driven design and very easy to maintain.

                  And no, we didn't shoot my cap, the squad I was shooting with didn't have the tradition I guess. I might retire it anyway and buy a new one.

                        Congrats on your first 25 straight, it's very rewarding to find that first one. Yeah, they shoulda shot yer hat though, that is the tradition....shoot it yourself!

                            I didn't shoot the hat. Hats are expensive these days.
