So you're the guy who teaches those college boys and girls to slap their empties, a skill I have never learned after about sixty years of competitive shooting. Do you offer a video? If so, thanks for sharing.

No, I am not the inventor of that move and there is no video... but thanks. Fact is, it took this ole fart a bit of practice to get it. The kids kept telling me it was cool... a bit arrogant I suppose but it was fun to learn. Learned to catch em both in air on ejection also.... LOL....

That’s EXACTLY the way most people took it when Woo did it except for him and his four wannabes.

Most International Skeet shooters and box bird shooters catch their empties and quietly deposit them in the proper receptacles. Not a negative comment on shell swatters, it's just the way it is. The Olympic Skeet Mixed Team finals did not come off with this polite way of disposing of empties because, oddly, the hosts did not place receptacles next to the shooters the way it is usually done. However, the shooters caught their empties and tossed them to the front of the shooting stations, out of the way of shooters. It was very pleasant to watch this "good behavior".
