Sporting Clays

It went from snowy and cold to the 60’s today.  The ground was a bit soggy but it was warm enough to get away with a tee shirt and a light jacket.

My nephew Logan and I went out for a rematch, and while I did better than last time, he did a lot better himself, jumping from 22 to 34 since last outing. And while my 37/50 was enough to stay ahead of him, it was a lot closer than last time.

I’m still using my pump 870 with a 28 inch barrel, and while a lot of the guys at the range have semi auto or over and under which are a heck of a lot more expensive. The pump may make it a bit harder, but that appeals to me in a strange way.

Sporting Clays

It was a bit cold and windy but a beautiful day to go shoot a round of Sporting Clays today. Once we were in the woods and walking around the wind barely bothered us and we had a ball.

My nephew Logan and I did a round of 50 clays this morning, and my personal results were way better than the first time I went. This was a different club, and it was only a round of 50, but I did a heck of a lot better. Part of that was I was using my own shotgun today, and part of that was that the course was probably a bit easier than the first one as well.

My nephew has beat me at the clays the last couple times we went to the trap range, but today I reminded him that I’ve been shooting a lot longer than he has. Especially on the back half of the course, where I only missed 3 clays.
