The shoot this last weekend was fabulous! Good friends, good guns and the weather was perfect. When shooting I had moments of absolute brilliance interspersed with short periods of utter incompetence. Nothing new. This is such a fun event at one of the most beautiful gun clubs in the Midwest. Besides SxS guns you get to shoot triples with your pump. Obviously, most of us need practice running one of those contraptions.t. Duluth in summer is wonderful, so that is a great addition to the shooting. If you didn't go you should plan on it for next year.
Regards,
Jeff

I agree with everything Jeff said as it was a wonderful shoot in all regards. We really lucked out with the weather as earlier in the week rain had been predicted for all three days of shooting. Other than some sprinkles early Sunday morning it was partly cloudy with comfortable temps the whole weekend.

Jeff mentioned he had some short periods of incompetence, but his moments of absolute brilliance was obviously longer than the other 98 registered shooters as he shot his way to take high gun honors in the Sporting Clays portion of the event. Good shooting and congrats Jeff!

Congratulations, Jeff! The fact that we've been PM chatting on another board the last couple days and you didn't mention this says a lot about you. Wow! Good shooting!

I left before they announced anything on Saturday night, so this is the first I've heard of my shooting. Here's my highly modified SxS setup for serious target shooting.

Husqvarna Model 51 12 gauge with 29.5" barrels, IC/Mod shooting 7/8 oz of 8s. I did put on a pad, refinished and recheckered the wood and just had the barrels reblued. Oh, I paid $350 for it at Cabela's. I like it.
Regards,
Jeff
