My 4-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer has been steady to wing and shot for two seasons, but this fall he's started breaking when the bird flushes. I've gone back to check-cord drills with plante...
Struggling with sustained lead on long handicap targets from 27 yards

Squad etiquette question - how early should I show up for my squad time?
I'm shooting my first NSCA registered shoot next weekend at the state championship. My squad time is 9:30am. I've shot local club shoots before where you just show up and shoot, but this seems more...
Looking at a used Browning Citori 725 for sporting clays - what should I check?
