Trap Shoot'n

So about a month and a half ago, my school started up a trap shooting team. When I heard about this team I thought okay cool I love to shoot and know how to.....so why not? So I went to the first team meeting, and saw that it looked to be fun. I took the trap shooting safty test, passed it on my first try. Than I started getting real into it, helped make shooting times and the place. Than the time came to shoot. We met out at Isac Walten which is a local outdoor club. We didn't have the key to the trap house so we had to throw ourselfs, which is never that bad but we didnt have but 90 clay birds. So we each got 15 shots. That day i shot 12/15, but that was just a meet and shoot just to mingle and talk around. The second day we got to use the trap house and shot competition style. If you dont know whenyou shoot that style, there are 5 rows, 5 shooters, 25 shots each. You start out in one spot and you shoot, than the next 5 shooters shoot, than you go again. And you do that till you go through five shells the puller will say DEAD AND CHANGE, than means you empty your gun, open your chamber and move over to the next spot. Than you do the same thing and you do it till you've shot at all 5 spots.

Well the second time we shot, I shot 2nd place with an 18/25 following a fellow shooter with 19/25. I felt shameless and down for haveing to fallow by one shot. So on April 1st, we shot again and I again came in 2nd place. But yet I was very happy to say i out shot the last weeks 1st shooter by three shots. But once again, got let down by a guy who shot a 24/25 compaird to my 21/25. I do see improvement and hope I will keep seeing it. We have one more practice before we start publicly competing two wednesdays from now.
