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

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.

oh snap!!

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

 

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

Hope to see you there.

 

How can MINIs shoot clay targets?

 

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

Can't wait!

 

This. Is. Awesome.

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

I like the club, and I like guns. 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.

 

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

 

Please goto post #36 for an updated.

 

It is "Benelli" after all.

Benelli Ultra Light.

 

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

 

Beautiful.

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.

 

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.

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

We still have couple spots left.

I will be fun.

 

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

 

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

Mom said that was okay.

 

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

 

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 . 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.

Wow, sweet.......

Will you be joining us on Tuesday?

 

Maxicooper, unfortunately I start business travel that day . 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.
