Even I Miss a Shot Now and Then

Howdy Folks!

This week will be short, because I am packing my gear to head back to the Dale River Ranch.  This past weekend, I was not successful.  It happens to the best of us.  I shot from a vertical angle that I don't practice much, and believe you me, when I get back to the ranch, it will be a shot I'll be practicing before I head back out to try again.

There is only one way to reduce your miss percentage, and I'd love to tell you that the solution is an easy one, but it's not.  The solution is one word- practice.  Practice from different angles.  You'll never know where your best shot will be, so be prepared.

Until next week, be safe and enjoy the great outdoors.
