Friend and I went to shoot a couple of rounds of wobble trap yesterday at Bull Run in Virginia.
Hotter than snot, and busy, but otherwise, a decent day.
I took my Stevens 20 gauge that I bought from Sluggo the other year. Really like that little gun. Except yesterday, I couldn't remember how to shoot it on Wobble.
Of the first 10 birds I think I missed 8.
Finally, in the last 5 birds, I remembered what I needed to do -- with that 20, unlike my Remington 58, I need to paint the birds quite a bit high.
I ended up the first round with a 13, last in the group of five, and several behind my friend (I never like being second banana to him!)
The second round, though, I turned in a solid 21.
That easily led the group of 5.
And this morning, my should has the red, angry look of someone who had a lot of fun shooting yesterday afternoon.
