Mechanical Meltdown

Well trap shooting yesterday was a disaster. Not that my scores were bad. 21 the first round and 14 the second. Which means I cleared my 17 average for the day, but still a disaster.

The first round was ok for a while, but I was never sure why I was hitting the ones I hit, and I hit some I clearly thought I should have missed.

The second round was worse, standing on station 3 (I was shooting leadoff) I missed the first three shots and I couldn't figure out why, then I looked at my feet. Hello! Pay attention to what you're doing. They were turned so I was standing almost perpendicular to the house. Which makes chasing anything to my right near impossible, also, not a good stance for a shotgunner at all, which explans why I got hit in the jaw by the shotgun because my mount was thusly screwed up.

I just totally spaced off all the mechanical basics of shooting. Put your feet in the right place, put your gun in the right place, put your head in the right place. These aren't rocket science, but if you're screwed up with those three all the talent or luck in the world won't get you anywhere.
