Uncle's Farm

My uncle owns a farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I went on my first duck hunt there in the mid-1990s, its a neat place. My uncle got me started in the trading business by generously finding me (dumb college kid) a summer job in 1987 and letting me live in his house. It hasn't always been a smooth ride but its worked out pretty well.

Spectacular Ithaca from early 1920s

This was at the club house tonight. Pretty cool, the owner's grandad is building barrels and a stock for it. I started a thread on trapshooters.com to get some information on it and it looks like it is a fairly rare Flues Grade 6.

Nice article in today's paper

I'm not a fan of the New York Times editorial page but a couple of times a year they have a constructive article on shooting/hunting in the sports page. See here.

New Camera

Got some shooting in today. I'm happy with what I am shooting in handicap for this time of the year but having a hard time putting together a good singles score. I'm doing something fundamentally wrong but I haven't figured out just what it is, yet.
