Others will likely disagree with me but I find trap so easy it?s almost boring. Skeet I struggle with to the point it almost frustrates me.Quote:

I think I'd like to try both.
I wasn?t discouraging you.
Make a trip to Colorado Clays. Maybe shoot a couple of rounds of trap then try a little skeet. Once you?re warmed up and in the groove play a round of sporting clays.
: )
Drive by there often...
Just the opposite, I read it as you were encouraging me.Quote:

Remember. It's a big planet and never misses.
Besides, you're never too old to give it a try. Our friends mother did it for her 80th b-day last year, along with her 84 yr old friend. I know they do it occasionally since then.Quote:

I think the best part of yesterday was the laughter I made (not after taking the first shot because I had an idea of what to expect)....
It was after I saw what it did to the target & the stand.
Though I think giggles of joy escaped with each shot thereafter.
Thank you again iego.
: )
... & when I was packing up the truck...
... & during the ride home, dinner & maybe even while I slept...
Ok. Done rizzing on about that.
Oh wait... when I returned home I informed my husband that unless it was too late, I wanted to amend my birthday wish list to just one item.

I don't have the desire to go launching myself, and a perfectly good dirt bike, in the air like that.Quote:

Bezos put down the loose wimen and rockets and go back to work.
Well maybe not the rockets... but yeah it'd be nice if he shipped his wares on time.
Yeah, I've seen a marked decline in Amazon quality lately, including missed deadlines, much longer shipping times than "prime" should allow for, etc.
Not to mention how they obfuscate and make making a smart buying decision almost impossible.
camelcamelcamel.com is your friend when trying to figure out amazon pricing, and what if any games they are playing today.
But, yes, in short they are an absolute mess and not to be trusted for an inch.

My biggest issue of late is their crappy delivery by AMZL locals.Quote:

I always review camelcamelcamel before buying something that's more than a few bucks and I could probably wait for. Easy to plan ahead for seasonal items.Quote:

And then with the A/R, speed, and being able to go offhand, or use offset sites. These are things I didn't even know existed. :)
We need to let hbarleatherneck know that people sighted his holster, and asked about it, and we pointed them here. :)
Can't wait to do it again,

Last time I ordered from rockoauto back in Late January they would not deliver to Colorado home ruled cities due to tax burden. I had to go to Monument to pick it up. Hopefully that changed as I won't do it again.
That's why my husband goes at 0630.Quote:

The question is. Do you deserve to treat yourself to some skydiving fun? if the answer is yes, go for it. You'll get a shotgun for your Bday, when ever that is, or was ;)Quote:

Rock Auto is shipping to Colorado.
In fact, I had parts come from two different warehouses in Denver metro.
Rock Auto, mainly rocks :)
