Speaking of shooting at "stationary" sporting clays targets .............. my friend Bill McGuire taught me to never shoot a teal target at the top. If you have a choice, shoot it just after it starts down and has shown you its line. If there's a true pair of teal it's usually best to shoot the first one rising, "under power", then catch the second just after it starts down. Trying to catch it at the top, when it briefly appears motionless, is a recipe for disaster. The timing is too crucial.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
