New Years Day shoot - Barrington NH

[Autumn Daze]

Thanks Larry and the rest of you guy's I think.... I ended the day with a 69 out of 100. Two bird's short of third so I was kinda happy. But the high light of my day was shooting John's .410 skeet gun. That is one hard hitting gun! I am gonna post an album here in a minute for all to enjoy.

Yea - you and Dean shot up all my .410 reloads as well... Dean called my .410 a "pea-shooter" and you called it "hard hitting"..??

Damn - all I know is I had to clean my little .410 when I got home from all your shooting - and now I'm down about 100 rounds of my .410 reloads...??!!!







Now that the Parker is cleaned up - down to the reloading bench I go....

John, Dean called it a pea shooter because he couldn't hit anything with it....Maybe it's time to send Dean to the Rich Anderson Shooting Academy.....

Wait a minute.....Bob Fabian helped use up some of them .410 shells too ya know.....

WOW! You're pretty hard on your friends... I'd hate to be on the 'other side'.

I'll have you know I finished 5th overall and both my skeet rounds were with my .410 Skeet-er and John's .410 VHE and, may I add, both are dedicated skeet guns. I shot miserably at skeet with my 28ga. Repro because of gun function failure.

John's 410? Dave you know he has borrowed it from somebody




All the practice yesterday paid off. Scott can verify, I shot a drake mallard high overhead pass at 60 yards with my mighty 10, it was coming down near verticle and still showing some signs of life and I hit it again with my second shot . (Of course he also watched me miss an incomer at 25 yard up after the first barrel was a dud).

Scott got a decoying black duck. Getting out hunting today so late in the season with such warm temps was a bonus.

Thanks Pete for a great day and thanks to Greg Miller, who I met Saturday, for the good words about my shooting.
Those trick shots I do with doubles on skeet station 8 are the result of a different kind of gun fit. As I pick the gun up, and rest it on my hip before the call, both index fingers are parallel to the barrel axes. When I see the bird I point to it with both hands and the right finger goes to the trigger; I finish the mount and take the second bird.

Best, Austin

Come to think of it.......

Yes....??

I have no idea WHY he does that, but whenever I hand him one of my Parkers - off comes the fore-end..??? Nothing more - just the fore-end..??

I usually just shake my head in disbelief - but this time - just had to speak out... I actually have a picture of him doing it to my 20GA D-Grade DAM - when he thought no one was watching.....

Oh well....

Did anyone find the owner of the green coat or the BHE 20 that were left behind in the club house? I haven't seen any mention of them and am just curious, I thought someone was going top post a "Lost & Found" note on the forum. Or, did I somehow miss it?
