I'm not certain, but I may be able to go Tuesday night. I'll know for sure later in the week.

 

I used to shoot handguns a lot, PPC, IPSC, and IDPA. Now it's mostly sporting clays, 5-stand, and skeet. Also fish, hunt, kayak, bike, and hit the weight room 3 times a week. I do lots of reading and attend many of the sporting events at the local colleges, especially volleyball. It's good I'm retired or I would never have time for all this.

 

Will Tuesday @ 7pm work?

 

I'm not sure yet.

I'm leaving work early for a Dr.'s appointment. If I don't have to return to work, I should be able to meet you. If I go back to work, it's a no go.

I should know tomorrow.

 

No problemo.

I should be there for a while. I haven't been practiced for quite sometimes, I need to stay a little longer than normal.

 

Date is changed to Wed 28th @ 6.30pm at http://www.ontargetdot.com/

 

I used to have a Schluter that I built and never flew. I was afraid of crashing it.

 

I like to backpack. I have racked up a few miles on the Appalachian Trail, and various trails in the North Carolina, and South Carolina mountains. I was able to hike with a contingent from our troop at the Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimmaron, NM. I also like to snow ski. My ultimate ski trip to date was a week long ski trip in Austria. I am soon to take up mountain biking.

 

Woohoo, had a chance to go out to the practice range today, after over a year.
I had Soooooo much fun. Didn't want to stop but my hand was starting to sore.

Thanks to Wolf617 for coming out and for you kind letting me try the classic WWI Luger P-08 . Sweet piece indeed.

 

I like Motorcycling with my wife (this year 700 miles in 7 days in the smokies) yes on the dragon . Building streetrods, Hunting/Hiking/Camping and Power lifting .

thankfully I am selfemployed so I can work my hobbies in around my schedule

 

Played guitar since 13 years old.
Really enjoy boating on the Great South Bay, LI.
Also I enjoy computer and electronics, a good thing since I am a Network Administrator for a University.

 

Here's a quick video one of the members made of my 94" Kittyhawk MkIa (P-40) doing some low passes

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, I only regulary practice target with the handguns.

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

I'd love to go again, hmm........how does this Friday sound, Bill?

I'd like to say, try it and you will love it.

For ones who would like to know the sports and newbies (like me), there is an introductory group lesson at Prince George's County Trap & Skeet Center

The fee includes the above lessons, gun rental and ammo's. So cheapppppp.

Their certified instructor are said to be one of the best in the area.

I'm thinking about doing the lesson on Tuesday, Aug 26th @ 7pm. Please let me know if anyone's interested. It would be fun if we could have 7 or 8 together.



The club house and pro shop.

 

Friday works for me!

 

Awesome, we'll get together at around 1 pm on Friday, Aug 15th., location will be at Prince George's County Trap & Skeet Center.

 

I've just taken up Trikking, and have become addicted to getting in as much time as possible with it.

As family activities we spend our weekends jet skiing or quadding, depending on the time of year. We do many camping trips through the year with both. My son just took and passed his United States Coast Guard Safe Boating Course today so that he can start driving my jet ski, legally. In Virginia, with the safety course, he can drive alone at 14. He's been on the ski with me since he was 3 or 4. He actually drives it safer than 90% of everyone we've encountered in our area. He's been on his own quad with us for many years now and we just moved him up to the 250 about a year ago. Yes, it sounds like he's spoiled rotten. But, he's not playing with his friends most of the time, he's actually still playing with MoM and DaD. In my eyes, that's kept my kid on a straight and o so honest path in life thus far. Although I must admit, I'm getting older and this isn't as easy as it use to be a few years ago.

We also have the family outfitted in various RC toys such as the Clod Buster, which I currently claim with an awesome Grave Digger set up installed on it. I just run over the Hubby and Son's Traxxas Stampeedes' like they are field toys. Of course they can somewhat do circles around me. No Mini RC yet.

I also have my girly hobbies like beading. I have my very own little personal bead store set up in my formal dinning room. I can create beautiful jewerly whenever the mood strikes me from the comfort of my own home.
I've also added lampworking to that bead addiction. No, I don't work lamps! Lampworking is the process of taking glass rods and melting them with a torch using an oxygen and propane mix. The glass rods are melted onto a twelve inch stainless steel welding rod coated with a dried mud like material that makes it easier to remove the glass from the rod. You melt the glass onto the welding rod using various techniques to form a glass bead. This set up is in the garage next to the other hobby, the Hubby's GT500.

Last, but not least, is doing activities that surround owning a Mini.

 

Are we getting a group lesson?

 

The group lesson will be on Tuesday, Aug 26th @ 7pm for the introductory of the sports.

This Fri will be a hang-out and see "how to break flying clays ...... Bill's way".

 

We're planning on doing the group lesson on the 26th.

We'll just be playing around on Friday.(I think someone is just looking for an excuse to rent that Beretta 391 )

Come on down. I'll bring extra guns. Or it'll give you a reason to pull the 1100 out of the safe.

 

Sadly, I just checked and there's no 1100 to be found.
Guess I'll just have to watch and learn, and try to resist the urge to pick something up. You guys are a BAD influence!

 

I'd be up for the group lesson on skeet shooting Let me know of the details. Thanks

 

Man I would love to join you guys but this week is a little crazy. I started shooting sporting clays with some events thru work and I am hooked After my first 2 events last years, I bought a Remington brand Spartan SPR310 which is a over/under 12 gauge shotgun. It is make in Russia by Baikel Gunworks and for the price is a decent shotgun.

Another good place to shoot is the Bull Run Shooting Center near Chantilly VA.
Here is the linky if interested in checking it out.

Hopefully I can join you all in the future.

See ya, Brian

 

Awesome........

I'm thinking about getting Beretta AL391 or Benelli Montefeltro, and will try them this week at the range.

Hopefully I can make a decision right after.

We're also thinking about having the outing once a month (if we have enough interested), may be on 4th Tuesday or Wednesday of the months and alternate location between PG T&S and Bull Run.

Are you interested in joining the class on Aug 26th? I hope you can. It would be fun if we have 6 or 7 of us joining. Right now we have 4.

Let me know what you think.

 

 

I'm addicted to climbing (three-four times a week if my body is able). Just started to climb outside (Redwing and Taylors Falls). I never thought I would do it considering the risk -vs- reward, but it keeps me coming back for more. I dropped twenty pounds so I didn't have to haul it up the walls. Give it a try!!!!
