It was a hen.

awww...those 25's are over rated.. (a phrase which has come back to haunt he who uttered it )

I heard another one last night.

"You guys are a bad influence on me." -- from a AA shooter who shot 25 his first round and 21 when myself and another shooter shot a round with him.

Here's one i hear often from an older gentleman who is getting back into skeet after a 25-some-odd-year absence. He usually shoots two rounds at each outing.

"I shot a pretty good round if you add my two scores together."

Danged operator malfunction again, I get 2 a round don't I?

I never miss, the ones that land in one piece are wounded, the critters will get em after dark.

"I figured I'd take the miss so y'all wouldn't have to."

or after the round

"Looks like I took the misses for the squad"

I have more experiences with misses that most of ya'll

How about after a miss:

At High 1 "Well that takes the pressure off"

"Is that how Bender taught you?"

A squad mate at a clinic asked, "Don't you want to win?" We had a good laugh and a great time the rest of the day with that one.

My all time favorite- "We do this for fun right?"

One great shooter in our area takes H7 so late I told him I had started rooting for the bird.

Not skeet but when I missed an easy shot on a big elk my buddy said, "If you spend the rest of your life in jail as Bubba's B#$ch, your life will be better than I'm going to make it telling people what you just did.". He was right. It still comes up 7 years later. Don't you love small towns.....

low six son of a bitch

In the group I use to be blessed to shoot with, we all had our favorite excuses, and everyone used the same ones all the time. Well, it occurred to someone that we should just number them. So there came a point where I would miss a H1 and my favorite excuse here was "Sun on the barrel," some someone in the group would should out #8, and we'd all laugh because we knew which excuse that was.

Unfortunatly, most were Korean Vets, and they don't get around much anymore, but God Bless'em, was the best bunch I have ever been around.

A few months ago, I was shooting with some of the newer shooters, two of which think I am some sort of "skeet God"
( they are SOOOO misinformed!!) Anyway, I sometimes shoot with my glasses on, but being bifocal, they have to be set perfectly or else "stuff happens".
Well to get to the point, I didn't check my glasses, and missed BOTH the high and low1's!!
One says to the other" I've never seen that before have you?" "Nope, I'm stunned!"
"Well folks I do that every now and then , just to make sure I'm still capable of doing it"!

Just heard one today I've never heard before:

"My finger slipped on the trigger". And he was serious.

I've never had that happen. Anyone else ever have their finger slip on the trigger?

Actually, YES!!
I had it happen TWICE before I realized what was going on, it happened so fast.
I was shooting a SXS with double triggers in the rain.
My gloves were wet, and slipped off the front trigger , hitting the back one.
I have since cured that problem by using the back trigger first all the time.

This guy was shooting his beautiful K80...on a beautiful, sunny, mild, windless day. An absolutely perfect day for shooting.

Just struck me as a little humorous today.

"Todd Benders going to get on a plane and come a kick your ass!" (after I had taken clinic from him. Now they call me Dr. Bender at the club)

"You need to leave some breading stock"

and my favorite, " Cam some one please pick up my brain? I think I just farted it out."

I heard today...

They're not in season today...

I didnt renew my hunting license...

I would find that hilarious!!

"Thank god that wasnt the beer bird"
"forgot to add shot to that shell"

Not really about misses but more about hits. A friend was having a great day breaking targets when suddenly he stopped, turned and said, " I'm like a bull in a china factory....I'm breaking everything! The squad was in tears with laughter.

I like to say "I guess I'm not as good as I think I am.".

I say it much too often.
