Almost perfect, again, but worse this time.
Two months sgo my gun club had so many people that wanted into the Wednesday night skeet that they started another up on Thursdays. Finally! I got in and somehow they even elected me as team captain.
A year ow so ago, when shooting with Pawpaw, AndyC, and my daughter I shot 24/25.
Last night I was on my way to my first straight and MISSED the LAST bird.
I haven’t run all the numbers yet. Roughly, I think I averaged 20.** - 22.**. It was only a 6-week league, but I think I picked up about 2 birds per round from the beginning to the end.

Way to go C-dub. I, too am striving for my first 25-round.

Re: Almost perfect, again, but worse this time.
Next time shoot the last one first!!
Just kidding, I know how frustrating that must be. Like a pitcher with a perfect game until he gives up a hit to the 27th batter.
That's still better than I have ever done. Great job.

Take away the Second first, and the First is gone in a second

Good shooting, C-dub! You'll get that straight patch; I have no doubt. I remember the first time I saw you shoot. You had a short barreled 12 ga as I remember and the club had to check out your gun. You were the fastest shot I'd ever seen beside my cousin with whom I used to shoot league skeet, many many years ago. I never accomplished a 25 straight. I averaged 22-23 and once had a straight going, but I missed the #7 LOW HOUSE of all things. My twin brother was a dead eye. He switched to a Winchester 101 in .410 and got a 100 straight patch with that SG.

Re: Almost perfect, again, but worse this time.
Still shooting that Benelli 3-gun. It would not be acceptable for a sanctioned match, but is okay for club stuff. Maybe I’ll get myself a longer barrel for it one of these days, but I just got a new pelican case for it and did the cutout for the shorter barrel. Or I could just try the 20 gauge O/U I got for my daughter to use. Since she discovered boys it’s been left in the safe and hasn’t been out to play in quite awhile now.

Re: Almost perfect, again, but worse this time.
I was able to get home in time before my wife took off for work and I told her about almost going straight. She took it well and was also encouraging that I'll get there some day soon.AndyC wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 11:04 am You're an excellent shot and I have no doubt that you'll go straight soon (ok, that sounded weird...)
Just a note - it's far more challenging for guys like us who shoot Olympic-style with the gun unmounted; I'm far more impressed with anyone who gets in the 20s unmounted than someone who goes straight with a mounted gun, but that's just me.
That does crack me up too. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hmmm, maybe. We'll see, but if I go straight with long hair good luck getting me to cut it. If I go straight with long hair would you consider letting yours grow out to see if you'd go straight?

Re: Almost perfect, again, but worse this time.
I was going to ask how li'l dub was shooting these days. As the father of three daughter's I sympathize. Just a word to the wise. My biggest mistake was not starting wedding accounts along with college savings accounts.C-dub wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 10:26 amStill shooting that Benelli 3-gun.

She'd okay. Rough year this year in school. Four AP classes and Pre-AP Pre-Calculus. And a new language because she maxed out on Spanish. One more year to go before college.puma guy wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 3:19 pmI was going to ask how li'l dub was shooting these days. As the father of three daughter's I sympathize.
