Actually, I like practicing at one of the local clubs that throws the worst targets you’re likely to see. If you can hit those, everything looks easy at a registered shoot.
Kay Ohye once told me he liked to practice in the wind and rain to give him an edge in competition over the fair weather shooters.
 
Actually being serious…but I do like my old Penn reels.
I finally had to retire all my old 308's, 408's and 300's. The guy who repaired them closed up his shop (I think he passed on).

Good luck with the transition to release.
 
Skybuster. come to my house, I can most likely get you over/past that issue
 
Over the last couple of years or so, I have been struggling with a persistent flinch that kept getting worse and worse. I'd call pull, bear down on the target and couldn't pull the trigger. It was very frustrating and I was losing tournaments by one or two targets and got reduced from Master Class to AA in Sporting Clays. I took my K80 and KX6 to Kerry Allor to have release triggers installed and I couldn't be happier. It's the best move I've made in years. First time out with the KX6 I broke 148/150 and won AA in the Great Lakes Championship last week with my K80. Got 4 punches in my first tournament with a release. I have since converted my 391 to a release and my 870. My other shotguns I'm just going to sell because I just don't need them anymore.

I wish I had done this a few years ago.
What do you plan to do for SxS competitions? (Is the Fabarm still in transit?)
 
I was told years ago by an All American that if you needed a release you were just a coward.
