Title: Daughter sort of in the news shooting
Post by: rogwar on September 05, 2013, 09:04:42 PM
She is the smaller girl in this video wearing the grey Beretta jacket. I'm the chubby fellow you see every now and then shooting. This was at a dove hunting clinic. She initially learned shotgun from Jeanie Almond last year and it helped her become a really proficient shooter.

Nice!!!  I could use some instruction from Mrs Shotgun!  Heading to upstate NY later this month for the Ronald McDonald Charity Sporting Clay competition.  It will be the first time I have ever shot anything competitively and only the third time shooting clays.  I am just praying I don't let my team down.

Great that your daughter is into this sport!

Here is Audrey getting a skeet lesson yesterday. Notice the back of her instructor's jacket.

Shooting together we really enjoy sporting clays best but 4H is just shooting skeet for now.

Okay, dumb question from a newb:

What the heck is the difference between Sporting Clays and Trap Shooting?

Sporting Clay discipline is a little harder to show in a photo as each gun clubs "sporting clay layout" is different. Basically SPorting clays to me appear to be the most like hunting as you typically don't know the birds flightpath and you're walking from station to station throughout the sporting clay field...

All recreational trapshooting is alot of fun... most call it golf with guns...


There's a bit of history I've collected for our organizations website: (Saskatchewan Amateur Trapshooting Association - SATA)
