I just finished reading "The Road to Yesterday". One of the historical shoot discussed by Baldwing was a shoot that had mixed fields in which some had a normal setup and some had a field set up such as this, with tall traphouses and elevated shooting platforms. Apparently not popular with the shppters, but in the old picture the stands seemed to resemble tall foot stools.

John, You must buy your ammo by the container, How many rounds do you shoot in a year for practice, Gary

Gary, I shoot about 7,000 registered targets a year and another 15,000 or so practice targets. Those are spread around 3 or 4 guns and a couple of different credit cards :rolleyes:

My God …. FIVE HUNDRED 25 straight! That’s a lot of good shooting young man. I think the greatest shot I ever saw was the double you made on Snipe. I’m sure Fred Is proud of you too.

Thanks but it’s definitely the gun.

Mr. Davis,

I would respectively disagree. I appreciate your humble statement, but the facts would dispute you.

I have never been a competitive shooter, unless you count my NSTRA competition, but I can appreciate the effort you have put forth.

Congratulations.

John, I’m in awe(!)
