Hi Lu,
I've shot all the clay target disciplines at one time or another, but now I shoot just for the sheer enjoyment...With a squad of guys that look at the game in the same light..
American Skeet was on the menu today. I spent years shooting sporting exclusively, but these days, I prefer to shoot a SxS birdgun... A 16 ga. with 28 ga. equivalent (3/4 ounce) reloads. The sporting range at our club is set for long targets and purpose built guns. My 16 sports fixed chokes of Skeet/ Light Modified. I shoot all my targets low gun, because I'm out there for fun and practice for grouse season.
I cut my teeth on American trap, but I love International, actually Modified Clay pigeon, as true International requires a bunker with fifteen traps. There are but a few installations on the East Coast.
I don't run straights anymore, and I don't see targets as clearly as I used to, but I can still hold my own... And the best part... I still enjoy the games and get out and have fun..
If anyone is in the Northeast, and would like to shoot clay targets as my guest.. please drop me a note!
