My eldest grandson got a shotgun for Christmas. A Mossberg 20 gauge. We were waiting for a temperate Sunday afternoon to shoot it and today presented itself.
We went out to the Woodworth range, where they have a 5-station skeet setup. We were alone on the range, so we started him out on an easy incoming target and practiced that until he could break it regularly. Then we went to a going-away target and worked on that till he figured it out. After he was comfortable with the range and the format, we began letting him call for any target he wanted to shoot. He is still having trouble with the crossing shots and I don't think he hit the rabbit target at all today.
The rabbit is a vicious little clay target that rolls along a strip of rubber at about 60 miles per hour. It's a blur as it goes across the range. Everyone has trouble with it. Everyone.
Still, we were out in the air with a couple of 20 gauge shotguns, shooting together on a Sunday afternoon. Being out with a grandson, shooting, is a fine way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
