Congrats on the win. A proud papa as you should be.
I started shooting skeet again last year after about 25 years of not shooting. Totally into it. Found a brand new Browning four barrel skeet set, (I know tubes are all the vogue now), down there in Tx. I'm shooting my first 4 gun shoot next weekend.
You are so right the mental aspect of the game. Concentration, concentration, concentration on technique and the bird. Which is certainly easier said than done. Really awesome he starting shooting so early in life.
(I say the Krieghoff for a graduation present!) Just a thought
