Hey, Jeff...used to do a lot of trap shooting back in the 80's. two nights a week plus weekends. My SIL is putting in a nice trap or skeet range on some property he has, so I may get back into it. Still have my O/U and reloading stuff. he told me, not long ago, that it wasn't worth it to reload

Al, I read an article about the lack of reloading supplies, particularly primers. It said the ammunition manufacturers are consuming 100% of the supply to keep up with demand. They get first priority.

Lou, how does the boy feel about drag racing? I have a friend that I’ve known since HS that has a kid sized dragster with a Rotax engine. It needs a driver.

I got myself an O/U but I still use my Remington 1100. When I have taken both to practice by myself I can't seem to do as well with the O/U. I guess I just need to get used to it, put in some more time with it.

Jeff, That O/U will shoot completely different than your 1100. It does take practice. I shoot quote a bit of league trap with #1 son in the summer and made the transition 2 years ago from my Benelli Autoloader. it took time but well worth it, IMO.

Are you saying you’re upset with FedEx’s delivery schedule?

Higher than the fairing, bad juju.
