Dr.Encore (Greg), we have a lot in common. I too help teach the local Boy Scouts to help them get the shotgun and rifle merit badges. I have also taken a few, new, young shooters under my wing and taught them how to shoot skeet. My own son never showed much interest in the shooting sports and I feel a need to pass along my knowledge and passion for the sport, just like my Dad and Uncle did for me 50 years ago. My skeet scores usually go down in the winter with all the bulky clothes and shivering but for whatever reason, I've been shooting well this winter. I spoke to my 90 yo mother today and she said that Dad is smiling down on me. I guess that's as a good a reason as any.
