Woo...Hoo...

My new "Clays Buster" machine.



Looks good, feels good, shoots good. I really love it.

I really had a good time yesterday. Try my new toy and talk about MINI with Chen, the range's assistant manager, who also own a MINI. An 07 MCS convertible.

Thanks to Bill to keep me company.

Note: The recoil effect wasn't that bad at all (with the help of some Advil )

Don't know if I'm ready yet, but today I went to Loch Raven Skeet and Trap Club and memberized myself in the National Skeet Shooting Association.

The membership was necessary because tomorrow morning I'll be shooting in my first tournament.

Not expecting to win my class. I just hope I don't humiliate myself so much that I can't show my face at the club anymore.

Do they have a "Missed more that Hit" class that I can join?

What time will your league be started?

Good luck and have fun....

My squad takes the field at 10:00.

I'm 4th in line so I can watch a few of the others first.

[Sun, November 2nd @ 10am] Bull Run Shooting Center, Centreville, Va.

Lets plan on meeting at Bull Run Shooting Range and bust some clays. http://www.nvrpa.org/parks/bullrunshooting/

We can shoot trap, skeet or five stand without any reservations. If we want to shoot the sporting clay course reservations are highly recommended.

I think sporting clay should be fun to try.

All are welcome.

Hey Tom, Since the sporting clays fills up quickly with reservations we are thinking either 5 stand, trap or the skeet. We can see what is the least busiest and decide from there.

Sporting Clay would be really cool, if we can get in. But 5 stand or Skeet would be fun as well.
