Yesterday was, for various reasons, my first league trap shoot in six months. First anything, actually, involving firing guns. Wife's surgeries and care, my two eye surgeries.
Beautiful sunny, but windy, day. Took my somewhat faithful 870TB and two boxes of 7 1/2 Gun Clubs.
16 yards, 21. First bird ruined a 50 straight. 20 yards, 23.
I was heartened by how clear the birds appeared. Disheartened by only getting a 44. Then I saw the other guys' scores.
Not a great day for many. Wind, "ring" rust.
Great to be back, even on the short side of life.
Going to use a different trap gun each of the next five shoots.
