sounds like congrats for him are in order and a new gun for you should be on order!....After all, it is ALWAYS the gun and not the shooter that misses, right?!
Good for him - bet it made his day |

Weatherby is being kind. The second round I fell apart and he was shooting an ice pick. I am not sure if it was a Model 97 or a Model 12, but I think it was also a 16 gauge. what he doesen't say is that when he shot a round with the group of regulares following us, he got a 24.
As an aside, I finally got the big wooden handle for my MEC Sizemaster that you guys recommended and it is soooooo much easier. |

Jim, My score wasn't anything you would be happy with. It was an 18. In other words, Weatherby had one very bad round and for me, I did better than I have before.

The thing is I barely have a clue as to how to shoot skeet, which is about the same as trap, but I am going to get Weatherby and his friends show me a few things.

It is to your advantage to shoot skeet with a shotgun......
High house 1 and low house 7 are the easiest stations to start and learn on. The others are either quartering or directly crossing If you want to play with a hard core skeet shooter, have him shoot international style - low gun and up to a three second delay - they'll kick you out and motion to the 5-stand and sporting clays fields for you to go to........ |

I'd suggest you two guys ....shoot to establish a rolling average...( say a 200 target rolling average ) .....over 2 range sessions ( 100 birds a day)...
and then handicap eachother... Avg ( 21 - 23 ) -- you get 1 bird Avg ( 19-20 ) -- you get 2 birds Avg ( 17-18 ) -- you get 3 birds.. Avg below 17 .../ you have to wear a sign on the back of your shooting vest..." I Suck at Skeet " ... and with handicapps figured in now / over a 100 target day....loser pays $ 5 into a kitty ...for cold drinks afterwards.../ or lunch or whatever....give you something to "shoot" for ....and of course not to "wear" the sign... and averages get re-calculated every 200 targets....so you don't get a disadvantage all day ..if you're improving... Just trying to help ... |

The last thing 300 wants to see is a score sheet. That would be damning evidence!
