For the most part, when my gun hits my shoulder ,I am shooting. some times it works and some times it doesn't. but when it does ,watch out.

He's not lyin' - I've watched Scott shoot... and he breaks a lot more clays than most shooters do.

In my competitive skeet shooting days there was a gentleman at Fairfax R&G named Willie Finch who I am sad to say is no longer with us . Anyway many many times I saw him stand at station four on the skeet field usually bare footed I might add , holding the gun on his hip he'd call for a pair and shoot the pair with the gun on his hip 90% of the time breaking the pair I might add .
I could do it fairly regularly at stations 1 , 2 , 6 and 7 . But not so much in the middle stations or on 8 . |

Willie Finch was a legend. He shot all over and always had a good time. A field at Fairfax is named for him. What is the silly game he played? He shot trap and skeet. What a great guy.

Ahh.... Fond memories of Fabulous Willie's Station Nine!!
Back in my college days I watched Jim Gregg, then the manager at Seattle Skeet & Trap Club at Redmond, Washington, go 23 out of 25 in a round of skeet never bringing the butt of his Model 12 above his elbow. http://jimgregg.net/index.html |

Dave, not "Fabulous Willie's" but "Famous Willie's". When you visit back East, you and I and Kevin should visit Fairfax Rod and Gun and go over old times. Yes, I can get us in.

There's a seventy-odd year old fellow who shoots at my skeet club sometimes. He shoots an old 20 ga. Model 32 from the hip. I've seen him clean the course about five times. The other times he dropped one or two. He says there's nothin' to it... course, he's been shooting skeet since he was fourteen.
