I went to a Tower shoot at my BIL's mega $$$$ hunting club yesterday.
17 stations,500 birds,23 shooters,I got 4 birds.

I couldn't use my gun 1100 20ga because the rules require a break open gun and my only dub barrel is on the bench (fox sbs 20ga),I would've looked like the hired help with all the high end custom gun's there.
so I had to use a borrowed Berreta OU 20 ga,I would've had better luck using a sling shot or just throwing rocks.

mind you I have never been considered good with a scattergun,I usually hit 50% at best at the trap range but JHC,I couldn't hit the floor with my hat.
still had a good time shooting and missing, 2 1/2 boxes of shells worth,and watching the dog's work.

some of these guy's guy's were just sick with thier gun's,they were keeping dead birds in the air by repeatedly shooting them.

I guess when you aren't hunting for food you can just blow it away.

I shot a 1 out of 50 once with a borrowed 20ga youth pump. It fit me so terribly, I couldn't tell where I was shooting. Gun fit and balance are big priorities for me, be it a rifle or a shotgun.
