Trap League, week 4 of the spring league

Hi!!

I've had such a busy week since the last Wednesday Night Spring Trap League shoot.  The ranking finally came out over the weekend.  My team has moved into a tie for 7th place out of 12 teams.

I had a good evening, shooting an 18 on the first round and a 19 on the second.  I must protest a bit on the 19 score.  I was very sure I hit another clay bird.  I did not hear the scorer call out a miss, or I could have asked for a review.  A review would have consisted of asking my team members if they saw a hit or miss, plus my view on the hit.  But, after completing the round, it seemed to me to be to hard to ask for a review of something that happened many rounds ago.  My error I guess in not listening better to the scorer.  Stupid ear plugs! But the good news is I am high scorer overall for the ladies.

My husband shot a 22 and a 23.  He is still looking for that round of 25.  I sure hope he gets it at least once during this season.  Several would be ideal.  We'll see.

Our team mate with the skeet barrel shot gun did not get the new trap barrel in time for this week shoot.  He shot a bit better for him this week. He now knew that he must be much quicker on pulling the trigger, since the shot pattern from the skeet barrel is not ideal for trap.  I know the new trap barrel with the correct choke should help him with his scores.  I hope that he has it by next week.

We want good weather and excellent shooting for the rest of the league. I cannot believe we are halfway through the spring league's season.  I am having a good time.

If you get the chance to shoot trap or skeet do so.  It is challenging and fun all at the same time.

Side note:  I saw a turkey in full strut and fanned tail feathers in the woods this past weekend.  It was a wonderus sight.

Take care, good shooting and good hunting.
