We also mess with the international time delay, shoot from between stations, shoot stations in reverse because of evening sun, shoot doubles targets from the "ends" inside out with tight chokes, etc. Haven't tried the walkup thing at Sporting as "we" are not the local gang at that range and are forced to shoot conventionally. I once broke high 8 from low gun, safety on. I don't think I've done it since that first time. Probably started thinking about it. Quite true that distance opens patterns even in the relative compactness of the skeet field. Why so many overhead shooters really smoke em even with skeet or ic at 8. I actually enjoy shooting a modified choke Flues SBT on the skeet field, all singles obviously. Probably the sweetest swinging 34" barreled gun I've encountered.
