Think I became a skeet shooter today!

Yes patches are hard to get, I have only had 2 x 100 straights in trap over the years and only 1 of them was in a registered event, always seem to miss one here or there, usually it's a straight away that a guy blows over top

I haven't shot 100 straight in this century. lol Plenty of 50s, shooting the 410 and 28 gauge, but I always seem to mess up before I reach 75.

true i'm 70 years old started shooting in 1972 shot 5000-8500 rounds a season till 97 ish then a break for 10 yrs and now occasionally absolutely love any shotgunning but skeet is what started it all and it's still has a strong hold on clay shooting

Sounds very similar... 9 years younger and started with skeet in 1978. I've never had a year I did not shoot skeet at least some since then. Can't say that about the other games...I go in spurts on the trap field and haven't shot sporting clays in 10 years now...

Yup and every year it get's a little tougher, the eye's and reflexes aren't as good, a guy get's tired and has more brain farts, I am cutting my shooting down this year I just can't shoot 300 per day for 3 or 4 straight day's anymore, by the end of the day I'm tired and just wasting ammo I hate going to a registered shoot and watching my squad mates shoot without me, but I am starting to realize what my old buddy meant when he said he can't shoot the whole program every day, he just get's to tired.

I shoot skeet twice per week now, and sporting clays once per week, but no competition any more. During the winter, we shoot skeet once per week. That is enough shootings for me.

That was a classic.
