I’ve been chasing the 25 straight after hitting a couple 24s in the last few months. Finally did it by hitting 50 straight in a local Big 50 singles.

Im officially hooked and looking forward to more competitions and a new shooting hat.

I just shot my first 25 in skeet like 2 weeks ish ago and we didn’t have a chance to shoot my hat yet. I shot another one tonight so we shot my hat finally and then one of my buddies said “You should go for a 50 now.” I was hesitant but I decided to shoot another round and then BOOM!!! I’m on cloud fuckin 9!!

Saw this at a range in Southern Ontario today. Who's seen some similarly wacky range setups??

Only one person in my life is as excited as I am, so I’m relying on internet strangers to share the joy.

So the original plan was to trade in my 725 for a 32” 694, to match my 30” 694 pro. Then my guy Josh at Elite Shotguns in PA, casually mentions that he can give me the deal of a lifetime on this 32” DT11 black. He was not fibbing, and I ended up trading both for the DT. Shot it today and I completely lack the vocabulary to describe my joy, satisfaction and appreciation I’m experiencing. So I now look to the like-minds of complete strangers to share in my good feelings. I hope this finds you all doing well. ✌🏼

After almost a year since starting, and a couple months of 24s, I finally got my first straight, weirdly with a second gun I shoot less often, and in the rain, but I'll take it. I'll miss that hat tho

As an amateur shooter and leather worker and elder millennial, there was only one option.

I decided to make my own belt pouch for sporting clays and this seemed most appropriate.

Dad, Can I shoot your gun?

236 Upvotes

My 7yr old burned up all of his ammo at the club today..... He typically shoots a Beretta a400 xPlor in 28ga.

He missed his last few targets and couldn't leave on a sour note. "Dad, can I shoot your gun?"

It's gonna thump ya, bud...

"I'll live. I just need to smoke one before we're done today."

Mission accomplished, son.... 😍

First Straight 50 in 4 Years of Competition Trap League

I have an average of 46 but I finally did it yesterday. I’ve had multiple straight 25s. But never a 50. I could hear my heart beating through my ear protection. I pulled out the Last shell and I told myself, well this is the one you miss. But I didn’t! Not to mention I was the only one that day to get a 50 out of 75 other shooters.

Picked up a new trap toy, 825 pro trap, I’m a beretta guy but after shooting a few of these newer brownings I had to bite, really liked the feel of the stock and thick palm swell compared to any of the other models. Great shooter.

Scored this 1985 Beretta 686 for my wife just in time for Christmas

I’ve been looking to get my wife her own clay gun, and went into a local shop to pick up some ammo and they had this on display. Practically brand new in the box, and half the price of a new 686 silver pigeon. Was able to pick it up just in time to get it wrapped and under the tree (even tho she was with me when we bought it…). Barrel markings indicate it was manufactured in 1985. She’s stoked!

Sure, children are an enriching part of life. They make you grow as a person, the teach you about yourself, bla blah blah...

Not my photos btw, contrast of clay with specific lenses will change based on light condition.
