And all the better for it as far as I can make out. I thought it was supposed to be enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsmanship and good manners where probably higher then to what I hear these days with throwing guns down , pearing over shoulders, having tantrums, abusing officials.

At the risk of being controversial, DTL is the easiest game of all, yet in my experience those that shoot that discipline are the most highly strung.

My first National PAA was in 1975, I was using an AyA No.2 for EVERYTHING. I finished 9th overall (combined DTL, Skeet and Sporting). I seem to recall that it was all 50 birders back then though. Them Winnie AA's 32 gram, kick like a donkey in a light S x S. I still have the bruises 44 years on ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.C Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 And then they get in the stand and say "can I see a pair?" on a busy day. Had all 4 one after the other do it. And I wonder why I don't shoot so much clay these days..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 I discovered a solution to this yesterday. Go out when it’s absolutely torrential rain, I was the only idiot out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
