Sandi and I have got serious with a new affliction. Sporting Clays! We have been working with a certified sporting Clay instructor. We are having a pile of fun and Sandi is like watching the terminator from T2 shoot! Smooth, fast deadly - you can almost hear the servo motors whine in her swing!! Sandi is progressing like wildfire. Me, not so much. I have sessions where I am red hot and others where I am glacial, to put it kindly, LOL. Last night we discovered that I have a wandering eye dominance! I have been right eye dominate my whole life or I thought I was. Last nights disaster put a frowny face on me and the coach in a corner. We did some tests and suddenly this crazy answer appears. Eye dominance can be right, left or center. Last night he would tell me that I was pulling the trigger well behind the clay and in my view I was 10' in front of it at times. So we started checking eye dominance and it moves around if I blink quickly I'm right I dominant but you know how you set up over top of a shotgun get ready to say pull by that time I can see the full left side of the barrel. No wonder it was screwed up. I guess it's pretty common. He said the biggest clue was that I shot better on the 2nd target of a true pair that I did on the 1st because there wasn't time for the dominance to switch to switch and I just shot. 've also been shooting a rifle a fair bit recently and he said that really screws up shooting a shotgun. We will move around a inclusion on the shooting glasses to stop it.
Has anyone else had this affliction? How did you fix it?
What we have been up to this summer....
We are pleased to announce our new series starting October 2025. This has been a chore to get it underway added to that we had a computer failure that almost left us with out our library. Thankfully we now have it all up and running (sort of) and with a final upgrade we should be all new and improved. I will finally get episode 9 up today as well and the rest of the season that we are so grateful to still have.
Rich and Sandi sit down for a looooong podcast with the folks from Panoramic. You can find out more about the guys at https://www.panoramicoutdoors.com/
Young lynx triggered my security camera at the trapping cabin. The days are growing shorter and soon it will be time to head to bush.
