Hi !!
I did it! I finally shot more that a 19. My second round on Wednesday was a 21. I am so happy. Now I can set my next goal: a score of 23.
I have to tell you about my shotgun. It was brand new last fall. A Browning Citori Lighting double barrel. The gun is now fairly well broke in. I remember last year it took time to break it in, get the parts smoothed out. Originally it was difficult to break open the action. It was difficult to take the fore arm off the barrels, and I had a sore palm from forcing the gun to open to eject the shells after shooting . I did expect this because it was brand new. It took about 20 outings with the shotgun, putting it through its paces before it became comfortable for me to operate. Now I have no trouble taking down the gun for storage and cleaning. I can easily open the action after shooting. I do not feel like a dork any longer. I just know that last year people were watching me struggle with the gun and wondering why I do not know how to operate it. Now it is just second nature to load, shoot, unload and disassemble it. I really do love this shotgun.
My husband had; in his words, a dismal night. He shot a 23 and a 20.
My other team members on the second round also shot 20, 18, 13 and 20. So, that means that I was top scorer for that round on my team. LOL. I am also still top lady in the league. But, my team is in 9th place. We are only 2 points out of 8th place and 4 points out of 7th. We can pull off a big move in positions at next weeks shoot. Wish us luck.
Take care, good shooting and good hunting.
M.
