Aside from the stifling heat and sauna-like humidity, the All-American at Elk Creek in Owenton KY was a winner. There was the novelty of shooting among the vines, rolling hills and woodlands (Elk Creek also makes wine … yes, in Kentucky), and the chance to watch a number of world-class shooters demonstrate the right way to “shoot flying.” [...]
