Ennie and I went out trap shooting again today. We both did ok. We both wanted to do better.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ0E84-aQPc]My high score was 20 out of 25 and En managed a 19 (including 11 in a row if I recall!) I also pulled a 12 out of a single-double-double round. (You get five shots at each of the five stations of the course – one with a single clay, a pair one after the other (second on report), and a pair that’s a true double at the same time)
You always want to do better. You can say that if I manage to shoot a perfect 25 the next step would be to shoot two in a row. After that win some competitions. Where does it end?
You can say, in a way, it doesn’t end until you have a gold hanging around your neck or something. Even then, do you not strive to be better still?

We shot three rounds each. Three boxes. 75 shells.
The leading female (multiple olympic golds, etc) shoots 40 rounds a day. Every day.
I’m sure she wants to be better too. Even though, on the face of it, she’s already the best.
Wow. You both did really well. Pretty damn.. bad ass. :)
