Hi,
Went to the club today and shot my first round of skeet since early November. Also drove my truck there and back, for the first time. Shot my 28 Uggie with the new weighted handguard from John Bugden. Only hit about maybe 18 but it was a big day for me. Felt awfully good to be back among 'em.
Love to all,
jl

Hey 3/4oz of shot on each and three-fourths of em broke; you're doing better than I would with that popgun! Take care, Jim.

Great news Jim! Don't feel bad about the score. After all, it's only skeet. Now, if it were trap...

Good for you, Jim. 18 doesn't sound too bad for this time of year. Especially around here. I haven't even been to my club this winter! Too cold for me. I am a fair weather guy. But, I am glad to hear that you are doing so well. Good luck.

Jim, good for you. It is one of those little things that many people take for granted. It also helps make sense of what you went through to do this. Do it as often as you can, when you can.

Glad to hear you're back at it, Jim. Tried any of the 20/28 yet? I'm now using it in 20ga--Fed hulls so far--and it seems to work very well with those too.

I haven't. I have been happy with Unique since my first 28, years ago. I have a good supply of Unique for the reasonable future.

Hi Jim,

Great news that you are already back out amongst 'em and having some fun. I thot you guys were snowed under up that way?

FWIW, 18 is world class in any dove field, taking all come'rs. I've always heard that its about 3 point something birds per box ... for the average guy.
