Shooting in the wind

I went practicing on Saturday even though it was a lot more breezy than I would have ideally liked.

We shot 50 skeet, and 50 sporting, 25 in the basis and 25 in the 122. The good thing about Shooting at Sporting targets is that just as you think you are getting to grips with a bay or a discipline thay come alone and change it enough to make you realise how mediocre you really are! It works wonders for keeping you on your toes!!

I shot a 14 and a 16 at skeet which considering the wind speed and gustyness I was not too disheartened. The increase in the lead required in the 20mph gusts was more than my brain was prepared to allow for so I was behind everything all day.

The sporting was equally shocking, in the basin I shot a 15 which I was pleased with, especially with a fast mini clay overhead that had foxed me last week. I kill most of them this week..... it was the C and D birds that I really struggled with..... again.

In the Bay of Bastards... the 122 all bets were off as the layout has been redesigned. Without the C bird teal to hit on the drop I struggled and hit a new worst score of 8 out of 25!! There were lots of challenging new targets and I am looking forward to working out how to hit them.
