Q: What are your favorite things about
shooting Sporting Clays?
A: You never know what they will think of
next.
Q: What is your favorite shooting venue?
A: Zone shoots.
Q: What has been your favorite shoot/event?
A: Quail Unlimited in Nevada, hands down.
Q: What is your favorite target presentation?
A: Whenever you got a chance to break a pair
with one shot.
Q: What is your least favorite target
presentation?
A: Far crossers.
Q: What do you feel is your greatest challenge in
Sporting?
A: Not letting your mind wander from the
game, and not trading guns or chokes.
Q: What do you feel is your biggest
accomplishment with regards to Sporting Clays?
A: Going into A class, shooting a pump gun
and a polychoke, loved it.
Q: What, if any, are your Sporting Clays goals?
A: Keep enjoying the game and keep it simple.
Attending more fund-raising shoots, like DU and QU.
Q: Do you shoot sub-gauge events?
A: Yes. .410 bore is my favorite.
Q: What is the one "gizmo" you find
most useful when shooting?
A: Energy drink or can of coke halfway
through.
Q: What advice would you give to someone just
starting out?
A: Use your favorite shotgun at first, and
keep it simple, IC choke, low recoil shells. Don't buy a fancy, high-price
gun to quick. A $300 shotgun will break them all day long if it fits you.
Q: Anything else we should know?
A: My pet peeve is not getting a copy of the
results of the shoot. |
