Hi, I'm Ed Ducote (pawpawcotee) Louisiana

I'm 71 years old (retired) and have been shooting/hunting since I was about 10. At about 62 yo, I got interested in improving my shooing ability. I stumbled across "Instinctive Shooting" and haven't looked back. It's been a trying journey because I haven't had a physical coach near me, but through a lot of trial and error I've accomplished what I set out to do, and that was to become a more efficient wing shooter. Between hunting seasons I shoot sporting clays to keep learning about myself. To me, shooting feathered birds is way easier than shooting sporting clays. So I set out to find out why. That has become a very interesting spiritual journey for me, one I am still on. My biggest challenge in shooting anything flying is my ability/inability to stay focused on my shot process. Apparently, all my life, I've had ADHD and didn't realize it until my 60's. So as far as I'm concerned, I have a challenge ahead of me and I love how it drives me to always seek a more accurate and sustainable shot process. The Spiritual aspect for me is the renewing of my mind, first and foremost toward my Lord, secondly to my hobbies of which shooting is one. I find the two to be inseparable, even though there is a hierarchy set. In all things, "Let God be Magnified".

My guns at present: Retay Gordion 12/26" barrel, Beretta A300 Outlander 12/24" barrel, Beretta A303 20/26" barrel, and a Stevens 555E 12/28" barrels. I shoot all of them regularly. Anticipating getting the new Browning 825 "Noir" sporting in the near future.
