Sporting clays
« on: December 19, 2012, 07:58:42 PM »
How many of you like to do that? Went with a couple of buddies today, all of us on vacation. Two of us were shooting gas operated Berettas and the other an older remi 870 wing master (from the good 870 days).  He was hurting after 4 boxes. :D

Me and some buddies go trap shooting, we turn it into a fun competition costs a quarter a round. Each of us brings a box of clays each and couple boxes of shells by the time were done everyones shoulders are feeling it, I use a 50's rem 870 wingmaster still shoots like a champ.  I also bring my mossburg 9 shot tactical to cut down trees lol

I love it. Too bad it's so expensive. Most fun you can have with a gun in my opinion.

Yeah love it. I use a Miroku MK70, cartridges are getting expensive here. We have our own little piece of wood and up to a couple of months ago half a dozen traps.

Some scumbags cut the chain on the gate drove a 1/4 mile through the wood broke into the container and even managed to get the high tower trap. Unfortunately the yearly insurance cost was as much as the traps worth so we didn't have any! Three other local clubs had this happen too in quick succession.

We have bought a new auto and use the manuals now, not letting these vermin spoil our fun.

I'm not very good by the way  :)

I did sporting clays for the first time last weekend with Golfer. (He is a lot better shooter than I am) its fun.

I really enjoy sporting clays, it is a lot of fun. 

But I'm better at skeet and trap.  Don't know it it's common, but growing up I used to play a trap game we called "Annie Oakley" all the time.  It's good fun.

Love it but haven't done it in years though. First time I did it. It was a gang of guys from work. Someone let me use his Beretta. Turned out I was good at it. But then I learned to shoot in the military. Won a bottle of whiskey. This is Ireland after all! After that I usually won a prize or two at every shoot.

I seriously considered taking it up as a sport at one stage. But I didn't have the money to buy a decent gun.

I have been talking with a few of my old member and we are going to start our club back going if we can find some land to rent . What happen to the old club we lost our land . It don't cost that much if you reload your own . I went in half with a friend and we shot every weekend for 40 buck's each . If you get the red double A hull's you can reload them a many times . I all way's put a little wax on the end's of the ones that did not crap down all the way to keep the buffer and shot from leaking out .
