Almost too pretty to use lol, I'm going to get a canvas cover for it, so it doesn't just sit out in the elements.
That's pretty cool that your dad was on the Navy team. The USA Shooting facility in Colorado springs is a pretty cool venue, there's worse places to shoot at lol.
I wasn't much of a skeet shooter, mostly trap and sporting clays after that. Each discipline is too different to be really good at all of them. So I tried to be great at trap, pretty good at sporting clays, and semi-competent at skeet. I nearly medaled at international trap at the state level one year(collegiate,) so I got an invite to Colorado Springs for that. I had enough local sponsors that it was a free trip for me, so fun times for sure.
I also got at invite for the international skeet event there, but only on a technicality...we didn't have a state championship for that event, so it was an automatic invite if you asked...I think I was 2nd to last at the international skeet event.
That was actually the first I shot that variation of skeet, I must have looked like a complete moron to the guys on the US olympic team lol. I even failed to get a shot off on the #8 station my first time.
The Citori is actually a sweetheart to shoot, between the weight and the shock in the stock, it's easy on the shoulder. It's ported as well, almost as gentle as shooting the gas Beretta. The only way it beat me up at Colorado Springs was I kept getting my neck pinched in comb(the comb moves with the recoil shock.) Looked like I had a hickey, everyone thought I was getting freaky with some chick after hours.
Sorry for the long story, just some fun memories...I still have all my guns(except for the scary black ones that were lost in a boating accident,) but don't really shoot anymore.
