Week 6 of the Trap League

Hi;

Unusual circumstances occurred Wednesday night.  One of our team members had a substitute set up to shoot in his stead.  The substitute had to bow out at the last minute.  We could not find anyone to step in. That meant that our team score would be so much lower because we were without one shooter!!  I really was expecting that we would be in 12th place (last) because of this.  I just found out that we are in 9th place. I am shocked.

I had an excellent evening, as did the three others on my team.  That helped our scores a lot, but it should not have been enough to only drop us one place.  The other teams must have had a really lousy night.

I shot a 20 on the first round and a 22 on the second.  I was and am very happy about that.  I was using a different load that night.  In the past I had been shooting a number 7 1/2 shot load.  This week I was using a number 8 load.  I'm going to have to use them again next week to see if it was a fluke (I sure hope not) or if I do shoot better with the lighter load.  We'll see.

The weather was wonderful on Wednesday, a slight breeze and around 78 degrees.  The humidity died down too.

Well that's it for this week.
Take care, good shooting and good hunting.
