Clay Buster's Corner
Wow.... it was fun having a chance to try skeet shooting at Loch Raven last week. Thanks to Bill (wolf617) for the fun experience. 
I don't have experience with shotguns, other than shooting once or twice when I was really young.
Shooting flying clays was much more fun than I thought. Good things, I was able to hit couple of flying clays.
And I'd love to go again, hmm ...........
This time I will do it the right way.
Being a newbies (like me) or for the one who would like to try the sports, the right way.
Please join us for an introductory group lesson at Prince George's County Trap & Skeet Center, Glenn Dale, Md 20769
Introductory group lessons start with gun safety. Then it's on to the anatomy of the weapon and the rules of the game.
In short order, adjust the gun against your shoulder and cheekbone, shift your focus to the target and shoot at its leading edge.
After a practice round with an unloaded gun -- including a helpful sound effect -- you can aim and fire for real.
Introductory Class is great to introduce friends or family to shooting in a safe, comfortable and fun way.
Different sizes and types of shotguns will be brought out to allow the beginner to try shooting with a gun that is matched to their physique and size.
The class is also a great way to get outdoors and do something new and different. Class is for any shooter over age 14.
Our instructor, a certified instructor NSCA level 3 (highest level) ,is said to be one of the best in the area.
Please find the information:
When: Tuesday, Aug 26th @ 6pm
Location: Prince George's County Trap & Skeet Center
Cost: $35/person
The fee includes the above lessons, guns rental, protection gears, ammo's and some refreshment. WOW.
and It will be a private class just for us.
Please have your name on the rsvp list, if interested asap or by this Friday (Aug 22nd) at the latest.
It would be fun if we could have 7 or 8 together (10 is the maximum).
The facily is also great, there are places for non-shooter to hang out and watch.
The club house and pro shop.

Wish I could join you but the logistics of getting to PG County by 6 during rush hour would be tuff. I sure the class would be helpful even though I have shot hundreds of rounds with my shootgun already. I mainly shoot sporting clays so skeet would probably be challenging.
See ya at a future event, Brian

Yeah, most likely the next outing will be at Bull Run in Va. It will be easier for you to join.

Nothing like an Over/Under for sporting clays.
This is Remington Spartan SPR310 Sporting shotgun I ended up buying. Great shotgun for the price and it is pretty well made. It actually is a Russian made Baikel that Remington imports.

Everything is already set.
Just show up. Actually, I will be there a little early, like 5.30pm or so.
You can also bring friends along. There is some nice area that they can hang out and watch us having fun.

I have a Baikal/Spartan/ Remington 453 autoloader that I like a lot.
In fact, Chris said that he liked that better than the Beretta 391 rental that he used.
The recoil systems on the 391's make them sound like pogo sticks.

Hey Tom congratulations! I am sure you will like the Spartan. It is a little stiff to open at first but with time it is pretty smooth. We need to hit Bull Run after work or early on a Sat/Sun. I will send you a PM about the chokes I have.

I'm not sure what you mean. But if you're talking about the clay machine, you don't need to load it yourself. It's pre-load and the only thing you'll have to do is push the right button.
Wow, sweet.......
Will you be joining us on Tuesday?

MINI's and shooting clays ( any kind ) are two of my very favorite things. Unfortunately I'm a bit far away to join you or I would jump at this chance. I know you will enjoy it.
