It was almost too hot to shoot this morning, but there I was at PGC to get in a couple rounds of wobble before work.
So were two guys who had never shot Wobble or indeed much clays but had some hunting behind them. Not as ancient as me, but not kids.
Since they were green as heck, I racked the Beretta and pulled for them, walking them through the routine.
Rick had grey in his beard and a Beretta autoloader he had not much experience with.
John had a camoed 870 he had shot for 40 years. He mentioned it had been painted by Realtree a few years back. Fixed Modified choke, no rib. A generic field model.
John dropped a few targets but not many. Smashing the majority, good breaks.
After two rounds, they let me shoot two also with John on the button. Using my B gun, I ran the first round but let my flinch rob me of two in the second.
I still had a few targets on my card, so I asked to borrow John's 870 for a following pair. Loading two, I called and smashed both.
Holding that Wingmaster was like dancing with an old flame.
And for those that chase the latest fashion, fad or technology.....
Get a simple old pumpgun and learn to shoot it by shooting it plenty.
John hasn't any fancy lessons or current technology. He has experience and that really counts 30 some yards out on a dropping,curling clay....
