The Mad Jack targets seemed to be moving at mach 1 and the unbroken targets were landing about 125 yards (+-) from the thrower. Daryl and the Fox guys had their usual great events set up with targets straight from the "Men's Department". I shot at about 550 (+-) targets with my 20 gauge guns getting the lion share of work. My 30" VHE getting about 200 of those, my 32" Sterly 20 got about 100 and my new to me bucket list gun, DHE 32" 1 frame 20 getting 75.
I came home much lighter in the lead department but believe I gained at least 5 pounds from eating Jimmy Hall's incredible pecan pie for dessert for breakfast AND dinner every day. Never mind that I probably ate half of one of his amazing coconut cream pies as well. Oh, and LOTS of oysters. What a wonderful weekend with great people.
