This year I will be doing a lot of pottering and practice, all at sporting targets. Every week or so I'm beginning to see signs of improvement at some of my 'bogey' targets, and every week I see a little better consistency at the others.
I will be receiving occasional coaching, and by the middle of the year will start to enter informal FITASC days.
I actually don't know what averages I'm scoring. I do attempt to keep count, but of course it's not comparing like with like as some days the more difficult stands are not available, or the perticular trap needs refilling.
I won't be making any changes just yet either to the fit of my 20g Urika, nor to the choke, which I 'run on four star' (!) as it were.
I am determined to find a reasonably priced 24 gram cartridge that will reliably cycle in my gun, and I have no plans to change the weapon itself.
As soon as I have established a fair approximation of an average score I'll tell you what I'm aiming for. But for the moment there are three or four on the layout that give me huge problems; mostly going away. There are two quartering/crossing things that scream out of the trap a nearly Mach 1 that I can't hit, both are the size of bumble bees. There'a another little one crossing at low level way in the distance which my old eyes have immense trouble seeing in the first place, never mind me trying to hit the thing.
Those are the ones I can almost never manage to hit. The others I can, but only sometimes.
The only way is up, as they say
