I think I'll improve on my 17/25 with a bit more practice, which is why I'm planning to travel to several different clubs around the region to shoot most weekends,

I was so lucky that I was shown/coached by a ex national and Aussie champ around the skeet field a few times so all that was explained. Only downside was he made it look so easy I thought that everybody who shot skeet blasted at least 23 clays. It wasn't until I watched the lesser guys, still good shots that I realized that some do miss. I really appreciated the time that Tony Truss gave and still gives me. Peteforskeet must know Tony Truss been around about 40 years.
