Sporting clays is very fun!
Ive had very little practice at shooting a shotgun in any situation & today was the first time out with this particular Beretta. If y'all didn't know I had only used a shotgun for clays once before & that was only for an hour or so of trap back in late spring/early summer. While my instruction that day was very thorough & I did very well for my first time I honestly had nearly/completely forgotten what a sight picture even was before doing this again today . . . Still, I think I did pretty well. Yay.
Very windy today which I was told added to the difficulty. Windy enough they didn't want to keep the course open & I guess it's designed to be a more morning friendly course due to the natural lighting (again so I was told @ the office).
So, I hit some clays @ all but 2 stations where I just couldn't find the sight picture in only those three attempts. One was rather far out @ 60yds & pretty high up & the other was in an elevated stand so the clays were crossing below me. I figured out what my lead & drop should be on the latter a little too late though, next time I believe I'll do better. On the flip side I hit them all at one station, 4+ @ a few other stations & at least one of each @ the remaining so all in all it was a good experience. Also. I'm not surprised that I didn't miss a rabbit. ;-)
Unfortunately we couldn't shoot the entire course before it was time to pack up but on the bright side I have a few new to me stations to try when I go next time. Soon would be my preference as I really enjoyed the outing.
Thank you WhiteWalrus for the invitation! ;-)
