			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well I had my first experience shooting skeet yesterday. What a way to ruin any confidence I had in shooting!! Trap is nice and straightforward, and while I&#8217;m not /very/ good at 5 stand (sporting clays), I can usually still hit ~50%. Skeet? Yeah&#8230;. 3 / 25 <img src='http://www.sullivanrealm.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />   I suck. <img src='http://www.sullivanrealm.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Anyhow, I /did/ learn a few things.</p>
<p>1) I need to learn how to track targets RIGHT out of the trap house. Those doubles are impossible to hit if you sleep on the first one</p>
<p>2) I have strongly left-eye dominant vision. This is problematic as I have heard from a few people that I should be shooting &#8220;two-eye&#8221; to increase my depth perception. That might help except for the fact I completely lose my tracking of the end of the barrel with both eyes open. Need to find a way around this. Am going to try left hand shooting (dreading this), and taping a dot on my glasses to prevent my left eye from being able to focus on the barrel.</p>
<p>3) Force myself to become right-eye dominant. I&#8217;ve heard that this is possible, but I&#8217;ve heard from MORE people that it isn&#8217;t&#8230;so we&#8217;ll see. <img src='http://www.sullivanrealm.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Regardless, Tomorrow I think is going to be a day off from shooting clays. I might just not shoot at all, but I&#8217;ve been kinda wanting to shoot my SKS, so maybe I&#8217;ll do that.</p>
<p>I will post more of a review next time after I get more experience there, but I did the skeet shooting at <a title="Shotgun and Clay games range in Maryville TN" href="http://www.chilhoweesportsmansclub.com/" target="_blank">Chilhowee Sportsman&#8217;s Club</a> where they also have a massive FOURTEEN stand trap range. The people there were friendly as I&#8217;ve found most of the people I&#8217;ve met at shooting clubs to be. It really has been overall a great experience getting into shooting clay games. Chilhowee Sportsman&#8217;s Club is conveniently located a few miles south of Maryville, just off 129 heading towards the dragon. If you&#8217;re in the area, they&#8217;re definitely worth trying out. Just make sure you stop by the clubhouse first as they do make you sign a waiver&#8230;a first for me for a shotgun range.</p>
