Yes. Some things actually are. This case is One Such. Bear with me please for a bit of soul baring here.
Some years ago my son John became ill with an ugly, evil disease known as ALS (so-called Lou Gehrig's Disease.) We all watched in horror while this monster relentlessly stole from him first his mobility and then his life. The steps are gradual paralysis, then inevitable suffocation because the victim's diaphragm quits working. The whole process took two years.
He was tall, handsome, strong, and of high character. He was my Best Friend and Best Hunting Buddy ever. He left a lovely wife and two fine boys, my grandsons. For years I couldn't even think of hunting and never went near my Man Cave. Eventually, as we all can see, things changed.
Yesterday would have been his 46th birthday. We gathered around his grave, held hands, prayed, sang "Happy Birthday", and released a rainbow of helium balloons to the bright blue sunny sky. Like we do every year on his birthday.
You nailed it, Don. [/b] There are things more important than shooting.
Like I said, please bear with me for a bit of soul baring.

I was being mildly facetious Ken, I know there are more important things. Family is definitely one of them.
But, I look forward to seeing you at any match we can both make.

Just noticed this, Someone gave you some bad info. I am a horrible trap shooter, and doubles are even worse. The daughter has some good days but she has surpassed me.
I have had a bit of luck on skeet doubles, but the singles put me out of it. For some reason on the skeet doubles I relax and just feel the target where any of the others I tend to overthink the aim and lead. Perhaps that's because I'm a bird hunter and the speed of the skeet doubles kind of substitutes for the adrenaline kick of a bid flushing.
