I agree about skeet. It is truely a game in which you can practice mount, swing, and shot execution on a set continuous basis. The shot is always the same at each station. Never have to guess or look for it. Mount and swing become muscle memory.

My ready position is the gun butstock against my body barrel slightly elevated until the bead is just below my eye line. Similar to the stance used in FITASC. I do this when I see the dogs getting birdy and prepare for the flush whether it be a rooster, a hen, or a lolly ole meadowlark.

Yeah but you can never go wrong with Little Feet.

Maybe Dallas? I have fond memories of Dallas. Always brings a smile to my face.

I used to hunt with a guy who would never pay attention. Tried numerous times to get him on track. Never seemed to get the point. Just stopped inviting him. Wonder if he figured it out.

Sporting clays game for wing shooters Get into station. You cannot look at the sheet that tells you how clays are thrown. Load two shells. Trapper throws only one A bird. No call, trapper releases whenever they like. You have two shots to break it. Record score. Continue this at each...

Yeah I know but they’re as rare as hens teeth. LOL.

Since I am left handed I’ve never been able to shoot Beretta O/U’s well due to their cast for a right hand shooter. Citori’s don’t have any cast and mount much easier. Nothing wrong with choosing either a Citori or Beretta. Find a used one and see if you like it. A bit more affordable that...

I used to shoot that shotgun so much in the summer you could read “Browning” in the bruise on my shoulder.

I always thought the Winchester 101 Quail Special with the 25-1/2” tubes were optimal.

I have always believed 60/40 was best for birds. Generally they are always rising. I used that gun for skeet as well. It made station 8 fun from a low gun mount.

For me it was deadly. Made some of my most memorable shots with it.

Thought I would show what “a go to gun” looks like. I used this shotgun primarily for 30 years. It’s seen a lot of miles and birds.

Never dwell on what you’ve done wrong. If you do you’ll keep doing it. Think about what you did right. I don’t think about the birds I miss. I think about the birds I kill. I know that Lanny Bassham generally deals with competitive shooting “With Winning in Mind” but some of his thought...

It’s available on Kindle.

Did something change? Did you put on or loose weight? Change vests or jackets? Can change gun fit without even a thought. I run skeet/IC on opening weekend then switch over to IC/IC after that. Try patterning your shotgun at 15, 20, and 30yds. You might be surprised on what your patterns...

Just have to find a plastic straw. LOL. I used to grab a handful of McD’s straws when they had them out.

Another point is shotgun fit. If the shotgun doesn’t fit you it won’t shoot for you and unless you have it fitted you can’t make it work. I spent months finding the perfect LOP on my Beretta A400. Also what fits in early season might not work when you’re donning layers to ward off the cold...

This is my dry fire training exercise. Once a week. I like the 15 minute limit. Keeps from getting worn out which can create bad habits. Also it is pretty easy to block out 15 minutes during a weeks time. Besides my shotgun dry fire I also do 20 minutes a week with my F-Class set up for...

F-Class FTR. Returned to mid range to try and get my HM. I love the competition but it is a bit taxing on the wallet.
