I got a buddy that is so physcially broken from being a roofer that he doesn't start a day unless he has two or three tylenol T3's in him. He does shoot also, I couldn't tell ya if he's rolling on the T3's when he shoots but my guess would be you bet.

Shocked someone has mentioned Aderal yet for concentration. That stuff puts me on another level for focus.

That’s my ‘dream squad’.......a bunch of high guys.

I don't think I saw it posted before, but in the spring and summer-bug spray.

Nothing worse then getting ready to take a shot and get bit by mosquito or horse fly.

Horse flies suck

I'm 100% sober when shooting, aderol helps with concentration and focus. It's not a mind altering drug. Doesn't make you high, doesn't make you goofy or act high.

You'd be shocked at the amount of people that take aderol and use it daily, and how it has helped them. As far as people shooting "high" I have never seen it in registered events, I've been out shooting practice at local clubs that have league nights, and I see more people roaming around the courses with beers for league night, or having drinks in the club house then going out to shoot their league five stand.

Both behaviors suck.

The hookers and blow did not fit in my shooting bag , so I got a Honda Pioneer 4-seater. Now I ride in style.

Sera, I always knew why you and I get along so well. Like I tell my co-workers always snow in my forecast.....usually on my kitchen counter.

You need a limo for that to be a truly first class ride.

But to those knocking back PP’s or other substances before shooting/driving/running chain saws.......good luck.

I operate chainsaws usually wearing flip flops...........and considering that every morning I use a straight edge razor, I'm already dancing on the edge of death every morning. I often think to myself "HELL YEAH I ESCAPED ALIVE" it's going to be a "great day"

Focus factor is another one that people use for shooting that I have seen.

Works in the games we play, you’d prob get the boot in most int’l shooting sports.....don’t forget to wear all your beads, chains, and loose clothing when using the chain saw:-)

My local club is basically a drinking club with a shooting problem. However, once the drinks are served shooting is OVER. Everyone respects that rule and I'm glad we're all on the same page about that.

Please tell me you guys are using buggies carrying all the stuff?

none of my local clubs are spread out enough to have buggies, but one rural club offers them from a external company.

The common set ups here are either shell bag, or no shell bag. And a lot of ranges won't let you even have a gun slip.

I don't carry a bag, but the guys who do tend to have very light set ups. Just ammo and usually a water bottle.

the people with bags tend to be people who dont wear vests.

For a round of 33 i opt for a vest with a empties pouch on the back. and 4 shell pockets. half a box 9's in one pocket, half a box of 7.5's, and two box's of 8's (around 70 shells all up). half a bottle of water and a asthma puffer in my empties pouch, my glasses cleaner in my top pocket. Glasses and ear are on the whole day.

if we are shooting rounds of 25, i'll carry less shells, and for rounds of 50 i'll carry more.

Tournaments are typically 100 birds. Not knowing what they are going to look like I’ll have maybe 3 boxes of eights, two 7 1/2 and a box of spreaders. Definitely not carrying that in a vest. If you’ve got a card then you might as well load up and bring plenty of everything.

For tournaments, we typically have 2 100 bird events; a full flat of Nitro Gold 7.5s cooler with water for the 100+ degree heat index.

Weaves - who shoots a round of 33?
I have never seen anyone shoot less than 50, even for grins and giggles.

Plenty of 1oz 7-½'s at 1230-1275 fps for everything. I usually have a box of 1-1/8 oz #8 spreaders for when I'm too lazy to screw in a Sk. (That box of spreaders is old, faded, scuffed up and dusty yet still over half-full -- a lot of carrying and very little use )

Hey Jack what have you found to be the softest shell in that velo range?

That didnt come across correct, most comps are 100 bird around here, one place does 104.

but we shoot walks of 33 at my club.. so you walk the course 3 times. you shoot 33, 33 then a 34 on the last walk.

regular comp numbers, plus the lack of volunteers means its easier to set up one course of 33/34 birds than it is to setup and maintain two courses of 25.
