Bourjaily: Skeet Fishing
By Philip Bourjaily
This video proves that if you practice a whole lot and focus on target, you can break clays with anything, even a fishing rod and a weight. It’s pretty amazing.
The clip also brings up a number of questions, like the best sinker size for skeet, and what pound test you need for 27 yard handicap, not to mention rod length, rod fit and fiber-optic tips.
As long as the Master Casters stick to clay birds, this is the coolest thing ever. As soon as some idiot starts snagging birds on the wing, reeling them in, kissing them on the beak and letting them go, I am going to have a serious problem.

That's way cool. The Master Caster guy really should be wearing safety glasses, though, unless he wants to go blind. I wonder how many casts it took per broken clay?
So what your sayin' Bourjaily is that you've got something against "catch and release"?!?!? I think as long as they use barbless hooks and wet their hands before they handle 'em, hookin' birds 'd be a good sport!
That is pretty dang cool. With my luck I would still end up with my line in a tree if I tried that.
That’s pretty good by golly!
I remember at the age of 14 while my Father was with the US Air Force Skeet team practicing, I would be in the stands shooting at the clays with my wrist rocket (sling shot) shooting 45 cal 230 grain cast. Every once in a while I would hit one and get yelled at by one of the Team Members even if it broke coming out of the house!
That is hand to eye coordination! I don't care how many attempts it took! As far as catch a release goes, what weight rod and line would one use for phesant? Back casting might also be problematic for quail, or would you need to roll cast in heavy brush...?
Guys,
Your RSS feed links aren't set up right. Could you please fix them so I can subscribe to the new feed URL?
Even better, since you used FeedBurner for the old site feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheGunNut), you could just update that account with the new feed URL. That way no one would have to change their subscription settings. The new posts will just start showing up.
Thanks.
A rod, reel, line, 2 oz. sinker and a 2/0 treble hook would be cheaper than a scatter gun and shells. A lot of doves fly over and around the small lake where I bass fish. Hmmmm!!!
Glocked, I'm taking a look now to see if we can do this. One of the problems with redesigning a site is the swarm of bugs that inevitably infest things, and this is one of them.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll prioritize this fix.
This video is awesome. The only bad thing is they have too much time on their hands. lol.
Thanks, it looks like everything is coming through the feed now.
Why I remember back in the third grade I used to chaw terbaccy and spit at real pidgeons for food. Now and then one would be too close and the wadd would tear 'em up so bad we couldn't eat 'em. Did I mention the time a low flyin' Mallard came by.....
Dave and phil,
The new format is great! And that's not a tall tail. Never a boring moment on this blog.
That is a pretty cool video,
Sorry phil but I did it, I was casting in the Sheboygan harbor for king salmon and my line got tangled around a gull. I hauled it in and got it untangled but not before it managed to peck me a few times.
I'm still not over Petzels 197 yard crow shot with a .410 and now you show me this?
Thats nuts! what else can he do with that thing i wonder
I am wondering how he came to discover this superb talent - it would never have occurred to me to even try! I am in total awe!
