Don't get me wrong folks, I had a great day out. Met a nice bunch of blokes ( well mostly ) Spent the day in the sunshine and we got a weekend away from work together for the first time in a long time. Chances are we may get a few more!
46% is not too bad!
We all want to shoot great scores but surely the above is a major part of our shooting enjoyment? Also the harsh reality of it all is while spending more than £10k on a gun may improve your shooting a little, so will using the one you have! Just shooting it at the right piece of the sky! Reading between the lines like me you are new to the game, in your case even more so, you had a bad day and it hurt you mentally get out there next weekend and give it some ... just relax and let the shots flow don't over think it and I bet you will better the 46% which was from all accounts a very difficult lay out. Of course I shoot trap so my failings are slightly different my biggest problem is shooting when I know I am tired. After a really tough week of hard work I shoot because of the enjoyment it gives me then if I have shot badly feel bad mentally because I know I an do better... maybe you were tired and did not fully recognise the fact?
