For skeet shooters with a sense of humor

[Patrick L]

Winchester Diamond Grade 101- about $2.5k used on debit/Mastercard
Perazzi OU (don't ask me which model) - probably about $4k on debit /Mastercard
K80 - if you have to ask you can't afford it, and you'll have an American Express Gold card

Beating the pants off of all three of the above guys this morning with my 870 Wingmaster 20 gauge - PRICELESS

Way To Go, Patrick!

Thats what I like to see money dont buy skill and if you have a 20,000 skeet gun why do you use the same shells that a guy with a 870 is using. I love the 870 best all around shotgun I have ever owned and trouble free.

lol


too funny!

Smoke 'em !

Way to Go! I learned a long time ago in the shotgun games the skill level of the shooter is paramount, quality ammo counts for about 10% and the shotgun itself is unimportant. They are simply pipes with a nozzle at the end to regulate pattern size. I have nothing against expensive shotguns, I've owned a few myself. There is a great deal of pleasure to be had shooting a well balanced over/under with some pretty wood on it but you still have to put the shot in the right spot to break targets!

Heh... did the same one year when shooting on the Ft Rich range.

Ran 75 straight with a Mossy 500 Mariner... 18.5" Cylinder Bore Riot Gun. :twisted:

(Figuring out how to hit the Doubles at crossover with the Open Choke was key...)

Haven't done it since, but MAN did I make the Benelli/Browning guys mad... :mrgreen:

[Scrounger]

I thought breaking both birds with one shot didn't count? I used to could do that every time on Station 7.

[Old Ironsights]

Dunno. It was all "unofficial". I hat been dinking around shooting at the clays for a while by myself and one Saturday there was a bunch of "regulars" and they let me play.

But hey, I play "slop" in pool, so taking 2 with one shot can't bee too bad... ;)

I've always found that it comes down to pointing it in the right direction and evidently Patrick did just that.

Way to go!

Especially with a good old all-American pump gun!

I shoot a low end CZ field grade O/U (picked it up for $350) at trap on tuesday nights at the local trap club. I ROUTINELY shoot better scores than guys shooting Browning, Beretta and Perazzi trap guns.

My own shooting buddy has a Browning O/U trap gun that he paid about $2200 for, I usually beat him by 2 or 3 birds per rounds. Makes him mad, but I rib him in good fun.

It is the shooter, not the shooting iron.

Good for you! Make sure you complain about the price of "shells" at Walmart.

[AZ-Stew]

I do something similar at the trap range. Rem 870 held in the position I'd carry it if I was quail hunting. When I call "pull", the guy running the trap always wants to know if I'm really ready bacause I'm not holding the gun at my shoulder. I'm not there to "shoot Trap". I'm there to get my hand back in with the shotgun before going bird hunting. I average about 23/25. And, yes, it does surprise most of the other shooters who are actually serious about the Trap game.

Regards,

Stew

AZ Stew me and my sons shoot the same way, I tried holding like the skeet shooters and could not hit them well I started shooting just like I do when iam hunting and started hitting alot more birds. Even more so when we moved to the trap range.

My trap team is a bunch of old guys that have hunted together for many years - we're mostly shooting 870's and 1100's and we have won the league year after year and it really pi**es off the trap dinks (as we call them.) (They are the guys with the expensive guns.) They continually try to change the rules for the league to try to stack the deck in their direction but we still outshoot them. It sure feels good.
