Either not recoil sensitive or over 245# works!!

A couple of additional notes regarding the state tournament. The young man that beat me out for the Doubles Championship was Ethan Ledford. He’s 21 years old and a great kid. We frequently squad together in tournaments. He’s the number one trap shooter in Georgia, a multi-time All American and he swept the State championships this year. He won State Singles, Doubles, Handicap, HOA and HAA championships. If you’re going to lose, you might as well lose to the best.

As usual the Parker side x side with double triggers got its fair share of attention, particularly in the Doubles shoot off. One gentleman offered me $2000 cash for my GHE doubles trap gun. I declined. Another young man told me that if I would shoot a modern gun, I’d be unstoppable. I didn’t bother to respond.

To quote John Gierach'' A snowshoe hare shot with a small bore flint lock rifle does taste better'' Sometimes it is how you do it not the outcome.
