OK, here we go ...
This Sunday we shot a match we only shoot once a year -- "The Ray Edwards Incentive Trophy" Match. It combines the shotgunners and the rifle shooters.
Firstly, the shotgunners join we rifle shooters for our Rimfire Field Rifle match -- 12 rounds rapid fire at 25m; 10 rounds offhand at 25m; 10 rounds standing post at 50m; 10 rounds sitting post at 50m.
Then we go and shoot skeet(?) with the shotgunners. (Traphouse 15m in front, 5 shooting stations, rotate to your right each shot, 25 birds.)
I
rarely if ever shoot shotgun, but I hit 18 clays. which I was quite pleased with. This with a borrowed shotgun I'd never even picked up before.
In fact, I finished second overall.
The weather went from cold, to windy and cold, to pouring rain and cold to sunny and steamy -- all within 5 hours.
But what fun. Typing this, I can feel the "buzz" in my mind -- and my right shoulder -- still.
Guess I'm gonna have to buy an over-and-under. Now, how much does my wife love me?
