One officer and one member (2 total participants) had a great time at the 4/14/07 Sporting Clays Shoot at the Capitol City Trap & Skeet Range. It was a beautiful, sunny morning, but it was very windy (around 25 MPH winds) which made shooting challenging.
We shot the corporate (hunter) course. I, Randy Rowley, came in first place with 35/50. Ken Miller came in second place with 18/50. I started out very hot, breaking 19 out of the first 20 targets. I then went a miserable 2 out of the next 12 but finished strong with 14 out of the last 18 targets. Ken also started out strong hitting 8 for his first 16 targets. He then went 2 for his next 16 targets but finished strong breaking 8 out of his last 18 targets. Station 1 was our easiest station. It had a flat left to right bird followed by a falling right to left bird. I went 8/8 on it. We shot a total of 13/16. Station 2 was our third easiest. I had a high incomer from the left followed by a outgoing bird to the right that curved to the left. We went 10/16 on it. Station 3 was our second hardest. It had a high right to left target that was falling followed by a fast, flat, left to right bird. We went 5/16 on it. Station 4 was our hardest station. It had a close, fast, right to left bird that was falling fast. You had to get it quickly are it would be in the bushes. We only hit it twice. It was followed by a high, slow left to right bird that we couldn't figure out why we were missing. I managed to hit it once. We shot a miserable 3/16 on this station. Station 5 was our fourth easiest. It had a very low incomer from the right. When they broke we were almost hit by the pieces. It was followed by a high teal that gave us trouble. We went 10/20 on this station. Station 6 was our second easiest. It had a very slow left to right bird that was fairly high. It was followed by a outgoing flat, fast bird from the left. We went 12/16 on this station. The combined group went 53/100 (.530). At our 3/17/07 shoot the combined group went 295/850 (.347).
