Duckblog: 2009 U.S. Open

I've been so busy since I got back to Vegas from the U.S. Open Sporting Clays Championships in Kentucky that I haven't had a chance to post any pictures from the shoot.

I ended up getting 6 punches overall from the shoot (punches are like "win points"). They don't do me any good really, because I'm already in the highest class possible (Master class), but they are a measure of how good you are doing. So I did OK in small gauge events but did not shoot well enough to get a trophy despite earning punches.

Both my Dad and brother shot decently well and received some punches. My brother was the only one who received a trophy; he got 1st in B class in the 20 gauge event.

The shoot was a lot of fun, despite the weather being very hot most days. The targets were challenging and fair. The only thing that was lacking in the shoot was the scorekeepers on the first day of the main event were pretty inexperienced. Other than that, it was an excellent U.S. Open.

Here are some pics and video from the shoot:
