Break from Vegas and U.S. Open
I left Vegas last Sunday for Kentucky. I'm shooting in the U.S. Open this week with my brother and Dad in Kentucky. The U.S. Open is the 2nd biggest sporting clays shoot in the country. There are over 1,000 entrants.
We have shot four events so far. We shot the 28 ga event first and I hit 44/50. Later on, that Tuesday, we also shot the .410 ga event and I hit 42/50. Today we shot the 20 ga event and I did a bit better in that event, hitting 46/50. I did quite well in the 5-Stand event over the first three fields (25 targets per field)... but then got a poor score on the final field to finish with a score of 85/100. I'm in Master class, so I shoot in the same class as the pros... so I pretty much need to hit 95% of the targets or more to have a chance at winning.
It's been pretty hot here over the past few days but the course and grounds are really nice. So far the shoot has been a lot of fun and the targets have been good. I'll try and post some pics over the next few days.
