Don I might see you tomorrow too, I need another practice round before Zoltan's shoot next weekend. BD
My trap shooting philosophy is simple. Shoot to the left of the left's, the right of the rights, and at the straightaways. More times than not I...

You nailed that definition, wish I'd said it. Brad

Rodger don't let Berlet know that Don might give Jimmy Johns away he'll be there a week early practicing. Brad
Don, right hand, left hand, 20, 12, maybe 410, just as long as it's not ATA. Brad
Only when necessary.
Sometimes Kentucky 9"s are the best choice for hard, hard targets ( 4's and 5's). Brad
Word of warning, don't put up food for prizes at any trap shoot. Dave Berlet is the odds on favorite from the NW zone to win if you do. Those...
There are thirty million more gun owners and shooters today than there were when Obama took office, that was in 2009. It isn't true that all...

Hell you can never be right and be the President of the USA. Brad
