Jonny Screws Up, Then Tries Again

…in which Our Hero from TGS Outdoor tried his hand at skeet shooting for the first time last year and fell in love with the sport.

So much so that he came back this year and tried again.

There’s two wonderful, relaxing hours of viewing in the above two links, so have at it.

I’ve watched each one twice.

In passing, what I really enjoy about watching Jonny Carter is that he’s a remarkable shot — that part is undeniable — but he’s also appallingly humble.  Note in the first video his unselfconscious attitude towards admitting he’s a newbie at skeet shooting, his willingness to listen to advice from the pros, and his absolute refusal to blame his performance on his borrowed, unfamiliar gear.

He’s fallen in love not just with skeet shooting, but with the entire skeet shooting family;  and I bet they love this gangling Brit with his quiet, self-effacing humor just as much.
