I miss shooting trap. For about 3 years I shot about 100-150 rounds per week. Got up to 91% in both standard and handicap categories. I may take it up again when I retire

I shot a "Schmidt-load" of pigeons too, this week-end, with a nice break from the late March weather we have had in April in the Mid-West. Only I shot barn pigeons (aka- rock doves) on several area dairy farms with silos and corn scattered on the ground--I think the real birds in flight, with a wind behind them, can be a challenge to the serious wingshot. I never have had a "jam up" with my favorite pumpgun- a Winchester M12 Tournament Grade 12 gauge made in 1937- 30" Full with a solid rib barrel. For ducks, geese and turkeys, I use a "jam-proof" Mossberg 835 with ventilated rib, ported muzzle and screw-in choke tubes- for steel shot and the 3" heavy turkey loads. I have never owned an auto-loader, but some of my hunting pals like the Binelli series shotguns.Happy Belated Birthday Mr. Runnels. I'm sorry I missed the cake
Shot a crapload of clay pigeons this Saturday with the new shotgun I picked up last week. Been a while since I've done that, it was fun. Will have to do that more often now that I have a shotgun that doesn't jam up every time I shoot.
Leicester-- pronounced "Lester" here in America, where "knickers" are knee length golfing pants (In the Walter Hagen and Sam Sneed eras), although the late Payne Stewart often wore them in tournaments--and NOT ladies undergarments as in England.Westham finally won a game....! 2-0 over Leicester
Even not too shabby for a future King-- Now names like: "Mortimer" and "Farnsworth" don't quite "play in Peoria"- or Playfair either. ey wot??George is a nice name for a boy
Good luck with the "Ball Wacking"--AKA "pasture pool"-- I play in two summer leagues, and would hate to have to give it up-especially the "19th hole"--I've been fighting rotator cuff tendinitis in my right should for about a year. I had it in my left shoulder years ago and it required 2 months of physio and electro-shock therapy to fix it. For some reason the pain subsided over the winter so I thought I would test drive it by hitting a large bucket of balls at the local golf course. Happy to say, I'll be getting a membership this year....at seniors rate.....which the company is paying about 90%. Not sure if I can still do 100+ rounds like I used to before 2008 but I'll give it a good go
