Sporting Clays, a Beginning

Never shot sporting clays before.  That was certainly a bunch of fun.  The place we went to was close and only had 5 stations for a total of 50 birds.  Every bird was thrown in groups of 2, with most sequential but some true pairs. 

The birds that were on a downward path took some adjustment. but the true doubles gave me the most trouble.  I found it difficult to pick the first target.  Several times I shot between them.  I remember having the same problem when I first started hunting quail, many decades ago. 

I haven't fired a shotgun at a moving target in close to 20 years.  26 of 50 I'd guess isn't all that bad.  In a few weeks I'll make time to do it again.
