Had a great time thanks again to C-dub for putting this together

Re: Another Semi-Quarterly Elm Fork Skeet Shoot?
It was really a blast, my first trial to shoot skeet. So, I need to get the hang of it to better score next time. I was really happy to shoot with you all.
I am in for the next round.

What they said. It was a congenial group on a really nice day.... and then topping it off with good mexican food is just icing on the cake.

Michael here.
Thanks c-dub for organizing and teaching me the rules of the game. I have been shooting shotgun for a bit (mostly just trap) but have only tried skeet once before and absolutely hated it. It is much more fun with folks like you to instruct.
Drew, good to see you again. Small world.

As for the rules, I tried to keep our little informal group as close to the rules as I know them without being the rule nazi. However, I also think you would fare better to look closer to home for insight on the sport of skeet shooting.
Oh, and welcome to the forum!

That was awesome, for sure! I'm definitely in on the next one.
And a big thanks to H-dub too for working the thrower flawlessly and keeping score!

Re: Another Semi-Quarterly Elm Fork Skeet Shoot?
In order to further handicap my already mediocre skeet shooting skills at any future DFW get togethers I may be fortunate enough to attend, I just picked up this little beauty. Vintage Charles Daly O/U, made by Japanese firearms maker BC Miroku, .410 Ga. 26" Bbl, choked Skeet/Skeet. Now I have a real excuse for missing so many birds
