Backwoods is my favorite place to shoot. Awesome shoot this year!

[@claylabusa]

Agreed they did an amazing job

[@zacherypleasant8471]

Great video man! Gator cup was great this year

[@claylabusa]

Agreed! And we better be shooting together in some other events throughout the year.

[@smiller9980]

Back Woods may be the best sporting clays facility in the U.S.

[@claylabusa]

It is easily one of the best....still have so many to visit though to be fair! Rick and his team are definitely a tough team to beat

[@kevinwilliams62]

The music is very distracting...I would have enjoyed it much more with just the music of the shotgun blast!

[@saylefish8779]

Agree

[@claylabusa]

Right on appreciate the feedback! Some found the silence in between shooters boring but these two had a pretty quick tempo so it probably wasn't necessary. Thanks!
