A buddy of mine invited me to shoot some clays. Like the title says, I hadn't shot at thrown pigeons for a bit over 20 years. I do, however, have a semi-auto shotgun I bought a few years back that mostly just takes up space in the safe. I bought it with the notion of squirrel hunting, but haven't been the last few years. Anyway, it's a Ted Williams 12g, which I believe was made by Winchester. Poly-choke equipped old school cool, a heavy gun you can shoot all day and not be bothered by the recoil.
I dug out some shells from the back of the closet (which I'd apparently had for quite awhile, as they had Kiesler's price tags on the box...) and drove out. I think I accounted for myself pretty well. We mostly just shot single clays, he's got a strip of cleared land with trees on either side so if you try to throw two one inevitably heads into the trees pretty quickly and busts on a limb.
I had a good time, gun ran without issue, and I finally got some use from a gun I bought on a whim and just sat on.
