yea but that 1 sure was sweet!
I know I take a box of shells and a box of birds
I throw a bird,,,,shoot a gun full of shells
then do it again
on the last round from the box.....I shoot the box of birds
pick up everything and throw it all in the trash
so....I'm not too sure how good I am but all the birds get broken
[ROFL1]
Scattergun? Is there a score lower than 1?
[ROFL2] <--- My shooting partner when I'm using a shotgun
60/100 is a distinguised expert? WTF?
I shoot well above that. am I reading that wrong or is the NRA wanting to make the fudds feel good about themselves?

By all means come to one of our sporting clay shoots and show us how it's done.
Running your mouth on the internet does nothing, step up to the pump and show everybody how it's done.
Your welcome to come to our next sporting clay shoot and I won't lie to you we will make fun of you...........and we will make fun of each other as always.[ROFL1]

I have $100 that says you won't hit the 60's in your wet dreams.
+1 on that Hunter. [Clays]It's not as easy as it looks and if you ever shot Sporting Clays or Trap you'd know that. Breaking 60 out of 100 Three times is pretty dang good in my book. We do it for fun and there's no real pressure, So come out and school us. The rest of those guys are shooting in leagues and teams and there very serious about the game and their equipment. Brian, Deniece, & Tom are Distinguished Experts that we shoot with and on any given day they can shoot like the pros or come up short. It's a game of illusion and it will torment the best shooters around. Who knows maybe you'll get lucky [ROFL1] But can you repeat that high score consistently? Good Luck!

once i had shot about 10 shells i was happy to end in double digits. i thought it was alot easier than it really is. i can break almost every bird that i throw at home and thought i was a good shot. i was just smart enough to keep that info to myself before i shot clays.
Like I keep saying.....just shoot the box...you get them all and use only one or two rounds,,,,,

that would get expensive really fast. i think it would be cool to find somehow to throw the whole box at once.
does dropping the box count? it brakes a lot and it's still one shot,...
[ROFL2]
I'm going to get one of these guns and out shoot you all! [Coffee]
The only thing is I'll need a couple of volunteers to hold it for me! [ROFL3]

my wife is really good at droping the boxes and breaking them. i could have her give you a lesson on how to do it right.
