Default I finally found the solution to my shooting woes...

with this simple quote:

“To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and, whatever you hit, call it the target.” - Ashleigh Brilliant (and yes, that's his real name.)

How about "you miss 100% of the targets you don't shoot at"?

Yeah, but I’m more concerned with the ones I DO shoot at

Jerry Varn of Broxton Bridge Plantation said clay targets aren't hard to hit, but they sure are easy to miss.

Phil, I don't shoot clays, but I've solved the shooting problem for hunting. When we go hunting, I'm the only one with a gun (Elaine has the camera). This way I can honestly say I'm the best shot on any given day (okay, I'm also the worst, but I'm a glass half full kind of guy )
