Rolled in Saturday morning with a big head and the wind blowing like hell . Shot the 410 and ended up with a F’ing 69 to say I was livid is an understatement. That pretty much yanked my 410 skeet average for that year .

This is a very enlightening thread. You all had me believing it really was the wind, the sun, the clouds, the speed, angle and distance, the chokes, the barking, etc. There is a comfort in that. Now faced with the prospect that it could be me, I’m holding on to the old adage “You can’t teach an old dog a new way to think”. So if we’re ever shooting together and I happen to miss a target don’t be surprised if I tell you flat out “You’re popping your gum”!
