New Trap Season Begins

Last night we shot our first two rounds of trap for the season. I'm officially the captain of our squad apparently. That's what I get for being the one to pay the team fee, we're apparently the Geek Posse. Well last season the team I shot on was called Shooting Blanks, so I guess this is a step up. Back again for shooting hijinks are Deanna and Erik(hereafter called Chilly). We've added Ken who is Chilly's son; Tony who works with Erik, Deanna and me; Eric (aka Odie) who I've known for years and years, we went to GAC together; and Tony's friend "Creepy Gamer Scott" who doesn't seem so creepy actually.

I successfully forgot my plastic ammo can full of all my trap shooting essentials like my belt pouch and safety glasses, and earplugs. Scott loaned me earplugs and I went on with my day, fortunately my coat pocket will hold a box of shells. Since neither Odie or Scott had ever shot trap before we set it up with the four of the gang who have shot trap before going first and Odie, Scott and I going second. I spent the first round explaining the finer points of etiquette and logistics to them.

Everybody did pretty well, especially considering some of them had never shot a single round of trap before starting the league. I hit 15 and 11, which are fine fine rounds to have as contenders for handicapping. Ken shot 22 and beat his dad by 4 pts, which he was insufferably smug about. I don't remember anybody eles's score.
