I felt like reposting this too…
A few days ago I posted “Focus.” Focus is needed in ‘Clays’. I am still learning to shoot like these guys (of course I will never be this good). Yoga, breathing, instinct and intuition all help with focus and as a result better shooting. I have a new post-it I put on my dashboard that reminds me to: See, Feel and Trust. The learning curve is quite bumpy sometimes…
In 2010 I began doing yoga regularly to help with my RA after a bad year. The following year I was enticed by friends at St. James Episcopal Church to come ‘Shoot Sporting Clays’. So I began. I have grown to love this new hobby or sport. The yoga helps with focus and concentration which is a big part of being successful at Clays. They say that the difference between men and boys is the size of their toys. I would also add that when asked why I love shooting clay, I say, “What could be more fun to a boy than shooting guns and breaking things.” It is instant gratification!

These guys are the best!
