Trap Shooting Week 3 of the League

Hi;

Week three of the league saw me do not so well in the first round.  I was a bit upset over the misses.  My scores for the two rounds were a 15, and a 19.  Fortunately I managed to recover in the second round.  My husband shot a 21 and a 24. He was okay, but not totally happy with his shooting.  We both were shooting behind on the clay targets.  I'm sure I will get the hang of it with enough practice.

I remember when I started out on the bowling league many years ago.  I was not very good. In the first year of the league my score per game averaged in the 80's.  Before the next season began my dad gave me a book on bowling techniques. I did better the next year with my average, bringing it up to around 110.  By the time I stopped bowling my average was around 135.  For Trap I am listening to the help I am being given.  I am going to look for a book or tips on the internet.  Something that can give me a boost in my game.

My team moved up in the standings.  We are now in seventh place.  Our team member that did so badly last week, shot with his repaired gun, and he did so much better.  He did order a trap barrel to replace the skeet barrel he currently has on his shotgun.  That too should help him with his scores.

It was a pleasant night, around 70 degrees with a light wind. So, the weather was not a factor in shooting tonight.  I love getting out in weather like this. But, I know hot and humid is coming!!

Take care,  good shooting and good hunting.
