Today was our annual club shoot. Everyone shoots 25 clay birds, high score wins.
Since I am the CLAYS CHAIRMAN I am the score keeper, match director, target fetcher, clean up crew etc.
I always squad myself for the last squad to shoot.
Today my 111 yr old Parker 20 got the nod. I went 22 straight and as soon as I pulled the trigger on #23 I knew I missed it. I crushed 24 & 25 for the win.
Maybe 40 odd years of clay target shooting has taken its toll on my skills?
Anyhow I suck at shooting and I'm disappointed with myself

To have to suffer so much. Just send me your guns and give it up.
It is not the critic who counts

Well at least you're humble about your success....

Maybe just a duff cartridge............................................but then you'd suck at reloading...
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.

If so it was from the factory! Although I have had a few duffers come off my presses over the years!

It's rare that I do John, but when the club foots the bill for ammo you can bet I'm going to shoot it!
It's all about time behind the gun Bill. We were shooting a hybrid trap/sporting clays, 3 machines each were going away with slight angle variations and a wobble machine. That's my wheelhouse after tens of thousands of targets I've shot !
Oh and my homemade pheasant pepperoni was a hit as well!
