Well last night I attended my first trap banquet. Chilly's description was apt, loud, smokey and we never win anything good. See at the banquet Rick gives away tons of prizes funded by league fees and the slightly higher cost we pay to shoot league rounds vs practice rounds. When I say tons, he generally tries to make sure that 1 in every two or three people gets something. It may not be good but something. The first prize he gives out is always a fancy shotgun. I didn't win it. I did get a Gander Mountain hat and a $10 gift certificate to Sportsman's Warehouse. So not too bad. Oh yeah and a big trophy for my team getting second place in the C division for Fall Trap. Also despite shooting so poorly after trying to cut off my trigger finger I got the High Lady average in the C division. It says so on my trophy! I guess it can sit next to my 2nd grade bowling trophy for 2nd place. I think that's the last trophy I ever recieved.

We're thinking pistol league for winter, because it is indoors and warmer.
