Wingshooting Argentina
What a great time we had in Argentina in August!We have this figured out when to go. In August when it is hot as you-know-what here in Houston, let's go to Argentina where it's winter. Their winter is very similar to ours, meaning not too cold - a light jacket in the morning and layer up for the rest of the day. We also like to go in late January or early February when it could get cold in Houston and it is spring ther... Read more…

And they have tried to check the lead enough times that they know exactly just how much focus they can give t... Read more…
What We Learned at the Advance Schools
We have just finished doing three weeks of Advance Schools and boy, did we all have fun. A great deal of learning went on for all of us. The one thing we wanted everyone to learn to do was to have the gun and target going the same speed at the end of the shot or to stabilize the picture. It seems everyone tries to fix the lead at the end. Instead of having that dramatic swing away from the target at the end, make the s... Read more…
