This is what happens when I run back through my old posts and collect my trap scores. I get excited with excel and discover I suck and I might be getting worse!

I guess on the up side I bought a truck tonight. It was payday. Oh and I got ice cream. It's a four day weekend and I'm going to Minicon. Seems like a winner all around.

because I know you've missed it

More Trap Shooting! Erik and I went out again today. Spring has sprung! Short sleeved shooting has returned. And with it, scores at my average.

Also I noticed that I've been doing something stupid. I noticed it because we had to wait for the slowest five shooters on earth. During this time I was watching clays come out of the houses... and I noticed I was doing something dumb. Staring at the starting spot over the house until I lost sight of the clay and then chasing it down again. Sure enough it's exactly what I was doing when I was shooting. So I tried fixing that.

Anhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.spell.gifd getting a more consistent forearm grip, since for the first time in months I had no gloves and it was safe to touch metal and not get frozen to it.

Also.. opened up my stance a bit towards the house. I think when I'm too closed to the house my right eye takes over (which is bad since it's not the one over the barrel).

Hmm maybe I should find more variables to change at once. I think I need to work pretty hard on the grip/mount part of things at home and on the looking at the moving object part when I'm at the range.

I have a secret TV weakness. I can ignore the TV for weeks if nobody turns it on. Once it's on it eats me. I can't walk away. Also.. I LOVE cooking competition shows, like the world pastry championship. You know where they build the 4 foot tall candy structures, that nobody eats but are just there to be a demonstration of sugar in all it's structural glory. I think there is little chance I will accomplish anything today now that I've found one on TV. I did at least get the dishes from Mort's party cleaned up.
