Last week I loaded up my fathers old Remington 870 Wingmaster and headed over to Oley Valley Fish and Game for my first attempt at shooting Sporting Clays. While I had loads of fun, I didn’t shoot very well. In the week between my first time out and my second trip, I watched a variety of Youtube videos on clay shooting. I used those videos to determine a break zone and focus more on making the shot. The end result …

In my previous video, One Step Closer to Action Shooting, I talked a little about joining Oley Valley Fish and Game. The night that I arrived to sign up, the club was open to the public for a weekly Sporting Clays event. The turnout was pretty good and everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Before winter struck and my guns were packed up for the season, I was highly interested in two shooting sports, clay shooting of some sort (either Trap or Sporting Clays) and action pistol (IDPA or USPSA). Because I don’t own a shotgun, I decided to focus more on pistol shooting. With …
Lately I have been posting about guns and the feedback and discussion has been excellent. I wanted to continue with topic of guns and cover another of the tools I take to the range. I choose to discuss my wife’s first .22 after some lively discussion on Twitter about which .22 to buy. The pistol featured in this video is a Berretta Neos. I picked this gun up for my wife for Christmas a couple of years ago. We took …
