The spring skeet league started this last week at the range I belong to. Shooters were slow to arrive so there were only two of us shooting our 50 targets. It was tough to juggle the score clipboard, the trap release, and our shotguns.
My shotgun got away from me and the muzzle hit the ground. Fortunately, I use extended choke tubes and one got damaged. The barrel itself was untouched. A quick changer to another choke tube and I was back in business.
This is the first oops I've had in 30 years of shooting competitive clays but frustrating still the same. I'm glad the choke tube protected my shotgun barrel.
Any other confessions out there?
