Allen ★ Posted August 20, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2020 We had skeet day today. I need a better thrower. The one I have still has a good arm but it’s legs are kinda janky. I hit 20 out of 20. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted August 20, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 20, 2020 I tried shooting skeetoes. Used up a lot of ammo, didn’t have much to show for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F_in Ray Of Sunshine Posted August 20, 2020 Share #9 Posted August 20, 2020 Tried that once, went 20/20. All misses. Used to work with a nationally ranked trap shooter. He said “come shoot with me, I’ll teach you”. I said “I don’t need another expensive hobby I don't have time for”. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Silly Posted August 20, 2020 Share #12 Posted August 20, 2020 My dad and I would go out a couple times a summer to shoot skeet as a kid. I got pretty good with my .410. I don't think I could go 20/20 with it because it was just a .410. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I have my perfectly acceptable geezer bike I have only modelling, both plastic and RC drag cars for a hobby. That's expensive enough for a retired guy. Any more hobbies and I'd have to go back to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any more hobbies and I'd have to go back to work. You can always branch out from "hobbies" & sports, to what many (most? all?) middle aged guys do which is tools and stuff related to that. Lose your power once in a while (I know you do!), get a generator! Get a foot of snow one winter? Get a snowblower! Tired of cutting the 1/4 acre of grass with a push mower? Get a ride-on mower! Is the siding dingy and moldy? Get a power washer! How about a tree limb down in the yard? Get a chain saw and a chipper! New to replace some crown moulding? Time for a miter saw, a nail gun, an air compressor, a new bench, and some other power tools! You can do it, Maxx! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted August 20, 2020 Share #17 Posted August 20, 2020 We used to do a lot of trap & skeet back in the day. I had a sweet 1100 but it got stolen... We secured our bird thrower to a big block of wood and it kept it from moving around. But it then became a PITA to load & unload... I had a scar on my leg for years where the arm got me. my cousin was cocking it back & I was leaning in to put a bird down when it slipped out of his hand before cocking and whacked me on the thigh... Nice puncture wound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those damn things are a nuisance as they are everywhere... Local laws vary but skeet season in CA is year round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
