What failed for you? I am curious as I have not done skeet yet myself...

I've shot skeet many times.. you just have to practice.

It will definitely help improve your overall aim.. and not just with shotguns.

I shot skeet, or at least lobbed little pieces of lead at some clay for the first time this past May at a buddies house.
I had two very experienced guys teaching and correcting every move I made and it sure helped a ton..


I came away feeling pretty good about myself, and that about all you can hope for but without the teachers I would have been complete crap..

Are you using a tactical with 18.5 inch barrel? These are clearly the best.

I don't expect you to see an answer from him.

LOL,, I used my 20" 590 for a little bit, not as bad as you might think.. Although shooting the other guys high end, purpose built guns was like night and day, almost made me look good,

i have always wanted to do that, im going to have to try it when i get home.....

It definitely helps to have an experienced shooter coach you. Once you break a few you begin to believe that it is possible to hit those things.

I shot years ago at Ft. Harrison's range. Anybody here remember that from the "old days?".

I totally disagree!! There's nothing that messes up your rifle aim more than coming off of shooting clays on the fly and vice verse!
It's a whole different type of shooting...you're not "aiming" you're leading. TOTALLY different and totally will muck with your off hand rifle aiming if you're switching back and forth even with a stretch of days inbetween.

Why wait? Surely they have skeet ranges over there. We used to shoot skeet while on ship. Every Marine base I was on had ranges for off time shooting with cheap prices and awsome rental guns. Whats it called now base services or something like that. I know you guys are working most of time but a little play is always good. What would it take to get some clays and a thrower or 2 over there.

I think MACHINEGUN meant overall skills. Most of his targets have always been running away from him so he confuses aiming with leading.

I love skeet and trap equally. They gave me a lot of confidence in my ability to hit a moving target and good instructors make all the difference in how quickly you pick it up. If you haven't tried it....get out there!

 

[MACHINEGUN]

I did say overall skills, but I'm such a good shot... nothing effects my aim.

If you are near a club, go shoot on a league.

Marion County Fish and Game has some great people.

You learn a lot quicker if you have some one who knows what they are doing to help you rather than trying to reinvent the wheel for your self over and over.

I've asked you to forgive me for this, but you still keep on!

I love skeet shooting. Did it in Boy Scouts my last two years in the mid 90's. Last time was at Philmont with a nice O/U. 5 of 5. Haven't been since. Figure why mess with a good ending record like that, ya know?

I'd love to go again. I just don't have a shotgun for it. Kinda hard to skeet shoot with an SKS even bumpfiring! LOL
