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. :grin:

I don't have experience with shotguns, other than shooting once or twice when I was really young. :razz:

Shooting flying clays was much more fun than I thought. Good things, I was able to hit couple of flying clays. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

And I'd love to go again, hmm ...........

This time I will do it the right way. :grin:

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

Our instructor, a certified instructor NSCA level 3 (highest level) ,is said to be one of the best in the area. :thumbsup:

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. :grin: :thumbsup:
and It will be a private class just for us. :thumbsup:

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). :grin:

The facily is also great, there are places for non-shooter to hang out and watch. :nod:

The club house and pro shop. :thumbsup:

oh snap!!

That would be fun. Especially seeing me fly backwards after i fire the shot. :lol:

I will make sure I will snap a picture at that exact moment. :lol:

Hope to see you there. :grin:

How can MINIs shoot clay targets? :lol:

Well, if Maxi can, maybe MINI can, too? :grin:

Can't wait! :thumbsup:

This. Is. Awesome.

I never thought we would do this in the MINI club.

I like the club, and I like guns.:thumbsup: This should be an interesting experience.

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. :grin: :thumbsup:

My mom won't let me go.:sad:
She said that I'd put my eye out.:eek2:

Please goto post #36 for an updated. :grin:

It is "Benelli" after all. :grin:

Benelli Ultra Light. :thumbsup:

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.

SWEET :grin:

Beautiful. :thumbsup:

I was looking at O/U as welll. but the one that I like was out of my range at the moment (pricewise). I will have to wait until later on, may be next year. :grin:

And btw, during the class, we don't have to worry if we don't have any gear.

They will provide us all equipments we would need. :thumbsup:

If interested, please don't forget to have your name on the list.

We still have couple spots left. :grin:

I will be fun. :)

Do I need to do anything, or do I just show up?

Everything is already set. :thumbsup:

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.

:grin:

I'm bringing my nephew along so that I can still get home after my eyes have been put out.

Mom said that was okay.:wink:

I shot skeet on several occasions with a guy that used that model. He put me and my Beretta to shame. There's truth to the phrase,"It's not the arrow; it's the Indian."

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.:nod: The recoil systems on the 391's make them sound like pogo sticks.:eek:

do you get to load the c o c k trap yourself?

Brian,

On your recommendation I bought the last one of these they had at ****'s, Fair Lakes, last night:thumbsup: . Can't wait to try it out.

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.

B.

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. :grin:

Wow, sweet.......:thumbsup:

Will you be joining us on Tuesday? :grin:

Maxicooper, unfortunately I start business travel that day:sad: . Maybe next time.

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.
