I stink...

Deaddog;

It's obvious you need to try it left handed.  After all, whattaya got to lose?

Paybacks are what?

900F

I'll let you guys know how it goes next week. I'm thinking of getting a little piece of velcro to help keep my cheek stick to the stock.

well fellas I am gonna throw my 2 cents worth in here, I try my best to stay with the target till I see it break over the end of the barrel (where can I get thet velcro kit?)

CB I am a right handed shooter, left eyed dominate eye crossed idiot  I tried a round lefty last week, broke 20 outta 25, most awckward thing I have done in a long time.

practice tomorrow and ATA shoot Sunday

I agree with Rocky.

also get rid of the full choke on the 12 if you are shooting 16 yard birds...modified.  Also ask your self if you are shooting too soon or too late.  being out you are probably not picking up those target as soon as you use to do.  shooting late tends bring stopping when you do get to the bird.

7 1/2 if you are dusting them

Well...I'm still plugging along with 17-19's. I found my lead on the right angle birds to the right from position five but am having trouble with the straight aways from positions 2&4.  I think I'm under them. I haven't even considered handicap, 16yds is enough for me at this time. The 16 year old girl shooting next to me dropped bird #22 she sure was on pace for 25 straight. All of them were just smoked, no chips. The mental miss like that is hard to take. I felt bad for her and see I have a long long way to go to shoot a 25 again.

I did get a good tip that seems to be working for me. Instead of holding on the middle of the trap house at position three I hold just to the right of center. It lets me pick up the bird just a little faster as I hold just above the house and now don't cover the bird as it leaves the house.

I shot three rounds instead of two this week. 17,17,16. At leat I'm consistantly bad. My brother-in-law came over this week and wanted to try out my Mec 9000G. Sure, free labour I thought? He short srtoked it on the first pull and sent hundreds of little #8.5 pellets everywhere! I didn't have time to clean up the mess so I used some #7.5's  I already had loaded for league instead. Still using the 28ga. I can say that the #7.5's seem to hit harder but my scores were down by about a bird a round. They were also loaded at 1300fps while my 8.5's are at 1200.

Well I've finished my 300 round summer league. I never did get my Mec 9000G back up and running. Just haven't had the time to tear it apart. Since I shot 75 the last time out  I only had to shoot 25 on my last night, and that's what I did! I dusted off my old Model 25 Winchester 12ga and proceded to smoke em. My team mates all asked why I didn't use that for the whole season. It did feel good, real good. But my plan is for sticking with the 28 next year too, so far.

well guys I am gonna try to do something I have always wanted to do, I am going to get my 1000 registered targets in this next year and go to the Grand, I got bumped from a D class shooter to a B last weekend, I ask the ATA guy what happened to C class and was told I was very lucky to be only in B as I was one target short of being in A class and he considered putting me in A due to "Known Ability" I had to look that one up in ATA rules,

My Handicap is coming along OK, breaking low 90's pretty much all the time.

I suck at doubles, my O/U does not fit me well after I started using my BT 100 thats all adjustable, I have checked into the cost of the stock work and its about 600 bucks to have the comb cut and a Bump Buster recoil system, not sure I want to put that much into an older Citori.

What I think I want to do is invest in a new Browning Cynergy Combo but the cost of the divorce may not be worth it.

DD congrats on the 25, I admire you shooting with a 28ga, do you just like the gun or enjoy the challenge?

Smoke em ALL!
