Finally got my 50 straight on the skeet field... Time to chase 75!!!

AWESOME! Only one way to make it happen - focus on one target at a time

SauerGrapes · June 10, 2012, 06:04 PM

Congratulations!!!

Keep on truckin'

Terrific!! I hope you have other hats, that'un seems a bit worn....

oneounceload · June 11, 2012, 01:30 PM

MAG - if you are going to continue this great shooting, you really need to hit the dollar store for some disposable ball caps! Those Beretta hats get expensive after a while!

BigJimP · June 11, 2012, 02:00 PM

Congratulations .....keep on going...( I've never shot 100 straight...in any gague in Trap singles or in Skeet ) ...but its a solid goal !! I've done a few 75's ...but then my nerves get the best of me...( and lately, any 25 is a very good round ..)...

LSnSC · June 11, 2012, 04:23 PM

Woot, woot!!! Nice going. The addiction will only get worse now.
I missed # 100 on low house number 8 at a club tourney once and had to be put on suicide watch for a week....

Virginian · June 11, 2012, 06:32 PM

Good show. Keep going. I once was in pursuit of a wonderful embroidered "100 Straight" patch. I choked at 97 on a low house 7, the absolute easiest shot on the course. I have never ever had to worry about choking again.

Slugo · June 11, 2012, 10:10 PM

congratulations!!! That is terrific...

Yes its getting worse...

Good job Jason! It's hard to put two together. Stay after it and you'll get that "75". And I hope you beat me to a "100" also. Now order me more Ammo!

Grant D · June 13, 2012, 02:17 PM

Congrats' on the 50!!!
I've had a number of 25's, but never have made it to 50.
Shame about that good hat though!! lol
I ruined a good one on my first 25.

swopjan · June 17, 2012, 05:16 AM

I'm sorry, but, why do the hats get destroyed?

When your shooting ability reaches certain milestones (25, 50 straight etc) it is tradition to have your squad shoot your hat...

My friend, the tradition was to have your hat shot after you got your first 100-straight in a competition. It seems the bar has been significantly lowered.

chadio · June 17, 2012, 12:18 PM

Nice shooting - what do you charge for lessons

TheKlawMan · June 17, 2012, 12:32 PM

A few want to shoot my hat and I have yet to shoot a 25. I fail to understand why they insist that I wear it when they do.

It must have... Whenever I shoot a 25 straight with strangers I get asked if they need to shoot my hat...

zippy13 · June 17, 2012, 10:09 PM

My friend, perhaps when you get a straight, you need to act like it's not your first time.
