At my local(home) club yesterday we were joined by the Yale Skeet/Trap team for a little friendly competition. There were 4 girls and 6 guys. A very nice group of young adults. We shot mixed squads of them and us. One of my rounds of trap I shot with 4 four of them. I shot a 23 which was right in the middle of the pack. When it was over one of the young lady shooters asked "What kind of gun is that?" I told her it was a Parker Single Barrel Trap gun. She said "Boy that gun sure reaches out there". I told her "sure does" and it was made in 1935. She just shook here head and walked away.
The highlight of our day was that Mattie who is 15 and the son of one members competed in a 27 yard "wipe your eye" event with 4 other club members and 5 of the Yale team and beat them all! He had a day he will never forget. The guys and gals of the Yale team gave him a rousing ovation at the end. These young people showed some real class and it was great to see a college sponsored team.
