So the Trap shoot was fun, not as successful

As I was before, like 40% worse! lol. It was very windy and gusting, but a beautiful day. I took two boys from our wastewater maintenance division and one from our utility service locate team. Real good O’l boys. We had a good if humbling time. Think Frisbee in a hurricane trying to shoot it. Winning scores were 44/50. I did about half that.

My fancy shotgun didn’t help today. I think I’m ignorant how to adjust the stock. I’m really having a time getting my head down to see the rib flat. I think I’m shooting over. My buddies used 12’s except for one boy shooting a Mossberg 500 20. By my figuring the 20 has about 50 less pellets (410 vs 355). Plus the shot column is longer so some may get flat sided and not fly as true. Really using #9’s is the hot set up. Very equalizing for the 20 bore. Three pumps,(Mossberg, Remington, Winchester) a late Remington gas piston auto, and my OU on our team. The boy with the 870 Turkey gun is good and consistent. The Remington auto fella isn’t too bad either but had an off day too. One boy was signed in as Roman, who couldn’t make it.

One friend borrowed a gun and did fantastic. (He’s not on our score sheet) A Browning BT-99 single shot! About $1500 used single shot! It did feel really good, all you need and nothing you don’t! He shot 35/50, and I know he’s not that much better than me. I was really fighting mounting the gun and my cross eye dominance. I try to close that eye but it pops open and it’s all over. I may try a pirate patch, I’m not joking. Both eyes open for me is no good.

The SKB-Japan 85TSS is a good gun. Basically the same as the current 90TSS from Turkey. I just need to stick with it. I got the comb as low as it will go and the heel dropped crazy. I think I’m doing something wrong, got to study it.
