And yes, it was so I didn't start snapping off shots rather than carefully aiming, although I found the former technique worked very well for moving target shoots.<br /><br />I was bitten by horse flies last weekend, which are as horrible as mozzies on any continent. I always come up in huge lumps and have to take antihistamines, which tend to put me to sleep. Never a good combination.<br /><br />I found the biggest problem in Greece was wasps, although setting fire to a small amount of coffee in an ashtray or similar dish worked surprisingly well at keeping them at bay.Zoë Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065427744062846167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-86770946568092715312017-07-16T19:19:48.143-04:002017-07-16T19:19:48.143-04:00Ah-ha, Annamaria, you've come up with one defi...Ah-ha, Annamaria, you've come up with one definition that didn't show up in my searches!

But as always ...Ahh, yes guns, one of my passions. But as always I learn more about my desires via you. Uhh, not sure how that sounded, but let's proceed. <br /><br />I'd never heard to avoid the shotgun sports--whether skeet, trap or sporting clays--if you wished to excel with the rifle. but it makes sense when you think about it. As you know, with a rifle (or handgun) you focus on the front sight, not the target, and squeeze the trigger, BUT with the shotgun you focus on the target and slap the trigger, so for the serious target shooter the habits of one sport could affect performance in the other. <br /><br />At the moment though, my shooting efforts here in Greece are confined to bug spray aimed at relatives of Annamaria's mosquitoes.<br />Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-34244132119506401322017-07-16T09:06:38.192-04:002017-07-16T09:06:38.192-04:00Zoe, my dad taught me to fire a rifle, but I never...Zoe, my dad taught me to fire a rifle, but I never liked it much--perhaps because the first time I tried it, I was attacked by a cloud of mosquitoes. "You have to relax into it, Sweetie," he kept saying. NOT possible. Another similar word to "skeet" is "skeeters," American slang for mosquitoes. You see, there actually was a point to my story.
