Trap Shooting practice


Hi;

The Spring Wednesday Night Trap League begins on April 3rd.  It came up so fast.
My husband and I had to get out and practice asap!


It has been cold, as you can see I have my heavy camo coat on under my shooting vest.  Fortunately yesterday and the day before were beautiful sunny days, even if it did only get into the low 50's.


After two day's of practice I think I am getting back into the swing of things, literally and figuratively. Swinging the shotgun to shoot at the clay bird, and in my mind swinging the gun to catch up to the bird.  I need to make sure I know where the bead placement is when I sight down the barrel.  I also do not want the stock of the gun to high on my cheek, or I'll shoot over my target.  We did not keep track of hits and misses.

We were mainly concentrating on form.  We felt pretty good about our shooting, there were more hits than misses.  I think I'm ready for the league to begin.

We got the list of team members and which field my husband and I will be shooting on for opening day.
I peeked ahead on AccuWeather.  I hope I can believe them, the early evening is looking very nice. Low wind, mid 50's and sunny.
The trap league will run for 8 weeks.  By the time this one end at the end of May, I'll probably be wearing shorts, tee shirt and defiantly no heavy jacket!  Cannot wait for warmer weather.

(just a note:  no one was harmed in the taking of the above photographs:  Safety is number one with us.)

Take care.  Good shooting and good hunting.
M.
