The next to last week of the Spring Trap League. I had a good night. Despite the windy conditions, gusts and breezes up to 25 MPH, I shot a 21 and a 19. On a few of my shots the wind picked up the clay bird and carried it out of the way of my shot. My husband had a 20 and a 22. The others on the team did fairly well. So much so that for the week we came in third. Nice news but also bad news. The bad news it that for next weeks shoot we have to shoot from the 17 yard line instead of the normal 16 yard line. I have a plan to help me shoot well from the further distance. I've decided that I will use the no. 7 1/2 shots, a little more power should help me out.
One of our team members decided to shoot his Remington 870 pump. He had had it out earlier in the day for fun, shooting trap and he did very well. Good idea, to bad it did not pan out for him. He shot one of his worst rounds of the season. He is a good shot, so even though it was bad for him, it really was not bad shooting from my perspective.
Looking forward to next week which is the last for this league. I'm still in first place for the ladies. I've looked at my competition, and unless I do not show up and shoot at all, I should win. In this time of short to non existent inventory of shells, winning 5 boxes of shotgun shells is pretty good.
My husband is shooting in a fun match over the Memorial Day weekend at the club. He will be shooting two types of games that he has never done before. The five station and wobble trap. He may find a new game for us to play.
Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday weekend. Keep our troupes in your thoughts this Memorial Day weekend. Without them we would not be free.
Take care, good shooting and good hunting.
