After getting all the animals fed yesterday, my father asked if I wanted to go try my hand at shooting a couple clay pigeons. Since it would be my second time to ever shoot them, I wanted to just for the practise.
We went to our usual shooting hang-out with an old clay-pitcher, a 1940's 20 gauge automatic, and my Stoeger Coach gun 12 gauge with 20" barrels. I didn't expect to do very well, seeing as how this would be the second time I had ever shot skeet (Shocking, I know.). I couldn't hit anything my first couple of rounds, but soon, after a bit of coaching, I was able to bust every one my father would send into the air. All from a short-barreled shotgun as well!
The ducks didn't fly over us this year, but next year I hope to use my shotgun to bag a few of them. I was very surprised to find me busting clays with the shotgun, but I guess we all have a bit of learning to do in our lifetimes.
