Sometimes the wheels threaten to come off...

 
Even the best shooters, when operating at top speed, can have the smallest flaw undo a good run, This course begins with pistol targets, then has targets that must be taken with the shotgun. Here, the shooter had a fine pistol run, then switched to shotgun. After his first set of shells, he went to reload his shotgun from a tube on his belt full of fresh shotshells--and it momentarily jammed. 

By the way, when they shoot the far knockdown targets, two clay pigeons are tossed into the air. That's why you see them shooting upward.
 

Here's Maggie, getting an almost flawless run. Great execution, and a smooth transition from pistol to shotgun!

 
Chris Tilley, a young Australian, realizes partway through that he has missed a shot and has to go back and pick it up--quickly!!

 
Sorry--I stuck Chris' clip in twice. Sigh. This next run below is very solid. Well planned and well executed. That's the way it should go!
 

. Good time, too!
