Sixth Week of League Trap Shooting -- WINDY

Hi,

Well,  I did poorly on the first round.  Only 14 out of 25! I have thought about it but I have not come up with the reason for the poor performance.

Then the high winds came in just as my team was beginning to shoot the second round.  This time I was concentrating on the bird and the updraft from the wind.  I think that helped me immensely because I shot a 20 :)   My team mates did not fare as well.  Nor, did many of the other 60 shooters that night.  But, that is all a part of the game.  Weather conditions can make or break you.  I had been concerned that we would at one point during the eight weeks have to shoot in the rain.  I never considered we would have to shoot in gale force winds.

Now the good news.  My team when up one place in the rankings.  We are now at the number seven spot.  Since the league began my team has gone from sixth place to ninth place to seventh, with two weeks to go, maybe we can end the game in sixth. I can dream that we might make it a fifth place ending.  I'll let you know.  As far as the standing with the ladies.  There are three of us in the group of 60.  The first place lady has a total of 267 points, I am in second place with 216 points and the third place lady has 179 points.  I will be a long shot to over take first place, but I'll dream about that too.  First off I have to start being more consistent with my hits.

Tomorrow is a deer hunt.
Take care.  Good shooting and good hunting.
