Winter, 2013
I used the winter season as a warm-up and introduction to trap shooting by attempting to shoot weekly at the range and by gleaning advice from as many of the capable people there as I could. I have to say that I improved to an acceptable level considering I am a neophyte using a field gun. I had a heck of a good time doing it. I got to experiment with different chokes, different loads, and different firing lines, although I am trying to nail down my skills at the 16-yard line. I am not afraid to look bad by trying at the handicapping distances. It's fun. A diagrammatic outline of my progress:
Choke 16-yds 17-yds 18-yds 19-yds 20-yds 21-yds 22-yds 23-yds
Skeet 7

Sometimes it's windy, sometimes your head just isn't in it. It's always fun.
My average over 11 rounds with modified choke is 14.45 Gives me something to shoot for when I go up north and shoot in the trap league for the first time.
