Have a good one.

 

Here in Michigan, we are getting some beautiful warm weather, 56 to 60 degrees, sunny skies, the west wind is moderate every day except when our gun clubs are open.
On the weekends the wind is out of the north at 18-mph, over-cast, and 36 to 38 degrees.
Bummer. Mike

 

I'm envious, cdb where ya heading?

 

Indiana Gun Club, I shot the A5 Sweetsixteen. The last time I shot SC with it was 12/07/24, complete new setup at the club, shot a 96/100.

Heading to one club tomorrow - they have a temp set up fr some shoots for a month or so; otherwise, Sunday will be at another club

 

Going out again tomorrow, will be shooting the Sweetsixteen again. Supposed to be nice until after 13:00.

Nope, it's here right now on the Saturday morning the Ides of March with 23 to 25-MPH winds.
I'm not that desperate to shoot.

We've got roughly the same wind, plus the storms that went through St. Louis yesterday have arrived here. Windy and rain is the forecast for the whole day today.

 

Yep, it's here in full force, 4' waves on our lake, coming from the south by southwest.
My Arborvitaes have become "talking heads" and they tell me to stay home.

You must be a fair weather shooter? Better stay away from Winter leagues!
Suck it up and learn to shoot in all conditions!
And instead of wearing that skirt put some jeans on so your legs don't get so cold

I shoot two winter leagues every year in Michigan and two events at both clubs.
I have been shooting all clays for 68 years in all conditions, in Michigan.

Shot Scrap for the first time with friends; shot 3 rounds and won all three - thanks to some AA 1-1/8 1250 7.5 and a IM choke; was never a trap fiend, but that was fun. The hardest part was making sure I followed the person in front of me, even when I was ahead of him..............good fun and as I looking to buy a friend's 870 LH with a 30" fixed full choke, this could be fun

 

What is "scrap"?

 

Trap shooting from the skeet stations.

 

Okay. How do you trap shoot from skeet stations?

 

 

The wind is really tricky here, I have literally watched a target rise or drop 4 feet, I really hate when you squeeze the trigger and the target goes up, down, left or right the exact time you shoot.

Welcome to March winter leagues 😁

 

On Saturday it was drizzly and foggy but not windy and two guys shot 50 straights at Trap

 

When we shoot Registered birds/targets some guy's gripe BUT everyone has to shoot them too!

 

Don't know where, but there must have been a really good sale on Federal HOA shells, I have been picking them up by the 100's at the club, my wife picked up 275 yesterday, the group of younger (at least younger to me) in front of us was shooting them, never bothered to pick them up.

I'd like to get my hands on a gaggle of 28 Gauge HOA hulls.

 

I have never seen a 28 Ga HOA ❗

I have never seen a 28 Ga HOA ❗

Lyman 6th has load data for them under the 28 Gauge STS data section.

 

I don't have a 28 Ga, So I have never really looked in the manual for 28 Ga data, 12, 16, and 20 are all I shoot.

I've shot Remington Gun Clubs and since I don't reload just chunk them in the barrel, you outa see the guys that shoot w/us grab them up! Maybe I should keep them and sale 'em to recoup some money!

 

You should!

 

They sell them!

 

Well remember that I shoot mainly registered SC’s and there aren’t any small bore targets where I shoot. So 12 ga. W/maybe a smattering of 20 ga shooters is the norm around here, now on the off days there is a senior guy that we shoot with that shoots a .410 or 28 ga., he doesn’t do registered events.

 

Had a friend that I shoot trap leagues with that I bought all his primers,shot,and wads from and he said he had about 1k gun clubs that he gave me for a friend that turned out to be ~4k !
