Team NFOA Needs Three (3) More Trapshooters: Sunday, 28Sep14
SemperFiGuy:
The Final Five Intrepid Team NFOA members listed above showed up today, all ahead of time and in good form. We shot the full course of fire: a 16-yard round and then a Handicap round from the 22-yard line.
I didn't stay for the entire event to learn how we did in the overall standings, but that's not why we were there. Whatever the results, we did not embarrass ourselves nor NFOA.
Fun was had by all. Even the Ladies, who watched us shoot.
And....Thanks again to Critter, who was the Team NFOA sponsor.

Also That You to the Team, and to Critter, for the donation of your winnings to the PAF. This gets us over half way to our goal of influencing a second Legislative District in the Noavember election.
Critter:
Sadly enough, I embarrassed myself plenty. :( Might be time to take up fishing.

What we have here, gentlemen, is a classic example of New Trapshooter's Way-Too-Early Self Analysis.
You won't think the same way after you've called "Pull" on about 5000 claybirds.
It just takes a while to get it all together and the only way to get it together is to shoot at a lot of birds, some of which you'll eventually start hitting.
Everyone I know--certainly, self included--blew a lot of holes in the sky before finally settling into the trapshooting game. (And after trap, there's...............skeet! And doubles.)
Let's go shoot some more!! It's the Friendly Addiction.

SFG is right, one time out trap shooting is no reason to give up, it is good for the soul. I enjoy an occasional round, I also try skeet, and generally don't shoot what anyone would call great (65-85% depending upon the day). But a day spent outdoors, with some friends or family and a chance to put holes in the sky nothing better.
If nothing else it is great practice for bird hunting, you learn to mount the shotgun the same way every time, you learn how your tool works and where it hits (not certain try a patern board). Take your time and shot one, remember what it felt like then do it again if the gun does not feel the same as it did when you hit something is most likely off and you won't hit this time.
