No one really knows my first score. Because it was really bad, but it gets better trust me. Just don't give up, especially when you hit a slump.:| Grind 'Em All:| 8o Fantastic!! Browning, The Best there is because second best is well...second best.

Hello Wayneo73,Welcome to Shotgunworld!Actually those are not bad scores you first time out. Keep practicing and let us know how you do. You can find some tips in our "Clays Forum" too.regards,Jay GentryShotgunworld.com Shotgunworld.com

I'm just glad a hit's a hit. There were several times on my first time out that I swear only one pellet hit it there was so little damage. But, it's enough to keep you going, and crushing one keeps you going through a lot of misses.
You think you did bad?The 1st time I shot skeet was about a month ago and out of the 25 I only hit 7. the next round wasn't much better,only 9.But I am of small statue and I was shooting a charles daly with a 28 inch barrel and it just felt too big for me,so I sold it and bought a rem1100 with a 24 inch barrel. I know,you all will say thats too short,but it fits me like a dream and I like the way it feels in my hands.I am getting a decelerator pad put on it now and then I will go back out and try it again. sj

I will be going out Trap shooting next Wensday for the first time.I went up today to watch and get all the info that I could.I will let you guys know how I do next Wensday but I have a feeling I`m not going to do too well.
It's good to see new trap shooters! Check this link for some very good info on the game. www.remington.com/whatsnew/trap/trap.htmAnd, the best advice I can offer is - keep the gun moving through the target.

Well I went out trap shooting for the second time.I brought my Browning A-5 to see if my numbers could improve.I shot 15/17/14 this time and it was a great improvement.Only one problem since it`s a semi auto I have to chase around for the hulls after each round of shooting.Does anyone know of a gadget I can get to catch the hulls?I have looked on the internet but came up empty.Thanks in advance YC
