Hunting the Little Orange Disc

Got our Friday afternoon with buddy Jon for the year's first round of sporting clays. Beautiful day, had work finished up early and we both wanted to get outside a bit.

First station was EMBARASSING -- we both went 0 for 6. Not even close to hitting anything. Ugh. But then at second station we both stopped aiming and started pointing. By the end of the round I was hitting 40% and Jon was up around 50%.

This was also the inaugural round with the Remington 11-48 autoloader. I've hunted with this gun a couple of times and it did very well. Equally solid for clays. Shoots where you point it, feeds reliably. Of course it's inertia-driven, so it's got some solid kick to it. Was really nice to have the speed of an auto on tough pairs.

Great day to be outside and an all around pleasant afternoon. Now I'm eager to get back out. Since my waders went back to Orvis on Saturday, looks like I'll be out of the water for a bit. More time for clays!
