Today I tried my hand again at shooting trap (my second time). The first time I went I shot three rounds (13, 15, 11). I thought it was decent for my first time and was just having fun. I went out today hoping to do well, and still have fun...and I did! I shot 15, 21, 17. Not great compared to the guys shooting there but pretty good I think. It helped when I didn't think about what I was doing I choked when I thought about my score too much. It was really fun! It was amazing how everything seemed to melt away except for that clay bird. I don't remember ever trying to aim and I didn't even see that front bead on my 870. Just, "pull!" and "boom!" The guys at the range were pretty good too...they did joke about how short the barrel on my "trap gun" was (about 21 inches~ Express Turkey). They seemed to think I was a pretty good shot (I hope so!) and would do better with a longer barrel. Any truth to this? I can't wait to go next week.
Oh, another question. My cheek is sore from getting bumped by the shotgun stock (where I rest my cheek). Is this a common problem? What can I do to fix it?
