Types of shooting you really stink at?

That list is pretty long for me, but I'm probably the world's worst wing shot.  I can hit clays and did ok the one time I tried skeet, but if it has feathers, it can just about be assured that I won't be able to hit it.

I don't know if it's because my first experience at wing shooting was at doves with a little .410 single shot, or if I'm just naturally lousy at it.

Im an almost impossible shotgunner. Specifically arial targets. Oddly enough I'm pretty good with foster slugs from a smooth bore and just a beed. Load up bird shot and toss out a clay frisbee and forget it, Ill almost never hit it.

Shotguns shooting at anything flying.  Especially Doves.  I have shot at many and only bagged a few

Grouse were always safe when I was in the woods, unless a caught one standing still. They wait until you're almost standing on them before they flush, and then scare the bejezzus out of you when they take off like a stick on dynamite. I dropped one right in front of my house one evening and decided I was going to have it for dinner. I left it one the back porch while got my knife to clean it. When I came back out the bird was gone, and so was my dog!! I saw her running down the road. When she came back she had a big dirt clod on the nose. She went and buried it on the neighbors farm!! She always shoved the dirt back in with her nose!!

Shotgunning anything flying. I stink.....big time.

Pretty much anything - but I'm getting better!

Wing shooting. I wouldn’t starve, but I wouldn’t prosper either.

Not the best wing shooter out there but once I warm up I'm Ok.  Pretty good Trap shooter so if I could get birds to fly in the same pattern as trap clays I'd be great at it.  Oh and I suck at Sporting Clays but have never shot enough of it to get good at it.

The only problem with clay pidgeon's is the gravy is real gritty!!

That's me.  Tried to improve a couple of years ago, but never got beyond the "you suck" stage.

Wing shooting.  Probably just because I never do it, and dont have much of the equipment.

A lot of us are self proclaimed poor wing shots.

Hmmmm?
Its difficult for me to believe you're all as bad as I am....
Even so, I do feel a bit better.

In my best Austin Powers accent, "Oh good, it's not just me."

I'm bad at the shooting the breeze that seems to be the pass-time of many at the range.

The best time at the range takes place after everyone else leaves.

Wing shooting. I like sporting clays, but don't like my scores. Next would be off hand rifle shooting.

Things with wings.

However I am not afraid to buy ammo, so I get them on volume.

Funny thing is, what I once was best at I'm now worst at. In my teens and early twenties I was hell on wheels with a shotgun, be it flying or running targets. Nowadays, most targets are out of range before I even get the safety off. Reflexes aren't what they used to be.

I'm actually surprised at this thread. I also suck at shotgun with flying targets. Just need some good instruction and a bunch of practice. I hear its pretty addictive once you get the hang of it, not hard to imagine that. I do enjoy shotgun at non-flying targets, soooo.......

Uncle Fester

I am right handed and left eye dominant.  I am a decent pistol shot (not bullseye) for the amount of practice I get.  Meh rifle shot.

Atrocious shot gunner.  Trying to get better, but I doubt it will happen.

Intetesting...I'm just the opposite...in my younger days I was a pretty poor wingshot, especially on quail....as I got older, I slowed down and got better...lots better...then when I could finally afford to buy a couple of bird guns that actually fit, I found myself missing a whole lot less

The first clay bird you smoke will be the start of a SERIOUS addiction.  At one time I had 4 active trap shooters in the house.  That got really expensive REALLY quick!!!

BUT it made it really easy and enjoyable for Dad to do Christmas shopping for the whole family 😁

Everything. I suppose I shoot a rifle the best, a pistol I need to work on and a shotgun only frustrates me. I know part of the problem with a shotgun is they don't fit me and someday I would like to try to fix that. Sometimes I think I am getting better at a pistol shooting and then the next time I go I suck. At one time I had a range in my yard and I tried to shoot once a week but then I moved my range and now I don't use it nearly as much. I am going to move it back and get back into practicing more.

I shoot fairly well at clay targets usually in the mid-80% range over a season of trap or sporting clays, I get  a LOT of crap for my field shooting, and I can sling a lot of lead in a hurry
