Thank you that’d be great. I’m not sure what time he’ll get finished on his last shoot but we will try.

Ok sooooo, after international trap and before whiz bang his gun started acting up again. His Sabatti Jaguar Gold broke the day before districts last week and we ran around frantically trying to get it fixed. My buddy at IGFA robbed parts off some showroom guns and we got it back going. It been giving him trouble off and on since so today I got pissed and he got a new gun.
Only about half the exhibitors are here and he shot several demos of various types. Ultimately he liked one of the CZ competition guns the best so viola! A new gun and a box of practice shells, ready or not time to shoot whiz band.

Gun isn’t finished fitting it to him and he only shot a 20/50. No biggie though. Afterwards we worked on adjusting the comb etc... to get him ready for American trap in the morning. He’s going to shoot with the CZ rep in the morning to try and finish getting it adjusted to fit correctly. In the mean time we’re burning ammo to try and get him as familiar as possible with it.

All guts to change firearms in the middle of a competition. I guess the alternative is guessing if your gun is going to work this time. Not great for concentration.

He has got some interesting stances in his shooting positions.

Well it was screwing with his concentration anyway because he never knew if it was going to fire or not and I have started having safety concerns. On the stance thing, he’s a more advanced shooter than I do I let his shooting coach sort that stuff out. I’m just a country boy who is self taught and not that good of a shotgunner to start with.

I always thought I might have wanted to be in the Air Force had I not wanted to be in the military so much ……………..

If he is hitting anything with a brand new gun he should be commended.
An unreliable firearm is the kiss of doom in a competition.

Lol. Well there is two types historically in the family Air Force or Marines. We’ve had a few in the Army but they were the dumb ones.

He struggled during whiz bang with it. We adjusted the comb a little and he shot a practice round of trap. Went 22 for 25 soooo I think we are close.
