    So I shot my personal best Thursday night. I shot a 48 and was full of confidence. Then I shot a 100 bird event today and dropped 6 of my first 10 birds. I couldn’t recover and ended up with a 72. Head games got the best of me today

    I’d kill for a 72.

    Most times I’d be happy with that. This year I’ve been shooting really well. I’m averaging a 44 so I was a bit frustrated. There was a 5 way tie and the other guys didn’t want to do a shoot off and I lost to a coin toss.

    A coin toss? Our shoot offs are usually Sudden Death Doubles. It usually goes fast.

    That’s a good idea. I’ll mention that to the owner

    Heading out for a round in a few hours. Not scoring today. Breaking in a new shotgun.

    Good luck. A guy on my squad shoots on of those and never has issues. The only problem with it is it launches the hulls into the next county.

    I went 37 straight last night on sporting and then proceeded to get a 2 on the next station and a 3 on the following. No excuses either as they are two of the softer stations. Ended up with a 45 which isn't too bad for me but I should have been high shooter of the squad. Lost to my nemesis by a bird.

    Beretta worked quite well yesterday. You were right about the hulls though.

    Guy I shoot with has one of these. Your right when we shoot Fitasc the shells are 2 miles from the stand and we get penalised targets if you don’t pick up empties before moving.

    Just started shooting sporting clays again. Shot a humbling 31/50 first time out.
