Maywood had their Illini Indian shoot today. It was very, very windy. In singles I shot 25, 24, 24, 23 for a 96. I was happy with that score considering the conditions. The high singles score was a AA shooter's 97, I tied for first place in A class with that 96. We shot off late in the day and I missed one while he missed two. I was happy with winning the shoot-off, good experience to get.
I was pretty confident that I could shoot a good handicap score but that didn't happen. There was no squad before us so I rushed to the trap to find everyone waiting for me. Missed the first target out of the house and then another one. Finished the first trap down 5 targets. Shot a 22 on the second trap and figured I could salvage the score. Shot a 15 on the third round and then a 22. So a 79. I had a really hard time seeing the targets, the wind made them very inconsistent as well. The high scores in caps were 88s, two from 20 yards and one from 27 yards. The 27-yarder won the shoot-off.
Great turnout, they had 90 shooters on a pretty crummy day early in the season.
So a tough start for handicap but today's handicap targets were an abberration from how I have been shooting. So on to the next event.
