Third Week of the Trap League, better than last week!

Hi everyone!!

My trap shooting in week three of the league went better than last week.  The weather was cool and no wind.

The league starts shooting around 7pm, which right now it is just starting to get dark at that time.  The field in front of the trap houses is about 500 yards of open grass, then the woods.  A few minutes before we began, several deer came out of the woods to feed on the grass.  There were over 8 deer, does and bucks, just browsing.  Not a concern in the world.  We began firing our rounds, and they still did not have a concern  in the world.  They were out there feeding for most of the time we were shooting.  Fascinating! All the team members were having a good evening watching the deer, wishing it were deer season too.

My scores were a 20 out of 25 and a 19 out of 25.  This is my average.  I am hoping to up that score in the next week or two.  I've come to realize that I must make sure when I bring the shotgun up that I sight down the barrel where I only see the bead.  If I see any of the barrel or rib on top of the barrel I miss.  Which probably means I am shooting high over the clay bird.  Concentration. I am going to work on this. Let you all know next week if it helped me get a better score.

Take care, good shooting and good hunting,
M.
