A few weekends ago I was finally able to get out and do some much needed shooting after a long few months of being cooped up at work. Needless to say, it felt great to hit the field and shoot up a couple of boxes of skeet! I also got to break in the new Ruger 10/22 Take-down that I purchased a few weeks ago. Keep an eye out for a review of the Ruger in the coming week(s) as I have to say it is a pretty sweet little gun!
Now back to the skeet shooting: I set a personal best this past weekend and was able to successfully hit 3 skeet launched at the same time using my Benelli Super Black Eagle II!!! I'm pretty good at doubles (if I must say so myself) and decided to stack another one on the launcher and I was beyond excited when I was able to hit all three of the targets. This just goes to show how valuable it is to practice in the off season and get comfortable with your firearm. Hopefully this can translate over to this coming waterfowl season and I'll get my first triple! I also had the chance to do some shooting with a Bushmaster AR, which turned out to be quite a bit of fun; it was only my second time getting to shoot an AR type weapon and it's cool to say the least!
I hope everyone finds some time in the next couple of months to get out and keep their shooting skills sharp! If anyone is looking to do a few rounds of skeet or trap locally let us know and maybe we can set something up with a group of folks!
