Today we reflect on the wonderful adventure we shared with the Moran Family. The family members traveled to River Bend Sportsmans Resort, Inman SC, from Colorado, New Jersey and New York to spend a few days taking Sporting Clays and Wingshooting lessons with Daniel Schindler, Founder of Paragon School of Sporting. During the family's 3-day stay, it was hard to tell who had more fun. Grandfather, John Moran, took his shooting to a whole new level. Patrick and his 2 sons, Tate and Japes enjoyed moving their shooting forward and learning to break the various target presentations. There was a lot of trash talk and camaraderie. Johnny, the city boy, came alive and ...

He knew, correctly, that he was better than his scorecards were showing. After a few minutes of listening, I very politely explained that I knew why he was not consistent. After a bit of silence, he very respectfully said there wasn’t any way I could know that. He went on to say, we’d never met, and to his knowledge, I’d never seen him shoot. AND…he said ...

  "The good news is…when that same swing component is executed correctly…the target will break."  All those who DON’T care if they break the target…please raise your hand. The truth is, we all want the target to break. And…without fail…every single time…there’s a very specific, valid reason why it did break…and why it didn’t. It’s long past time for all the mystery around X’s and 0’s to end. Just what is it, exactly, that we have to do to break the target CONSISTENTLY? It’s cold. And making it worse, it’s windy.
