AJ Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 How about a Virginia member get together? Shooters are invited to attend a spring sporting clay shoot on March 26, 2005 at Shady Grove Hunting Preserve and Sporting Clays in Remington, Virginia. Please RSVP so I can have a count of how many shooters will be attending. We have to make sure they have enough pullers for that day. How about we plan on a morning shoot so we can get in a couple rounds? The cost is $34 per 100 rounds of clays. This does not include ammo. Anyhow, the game is sporting clays. Shots are anywhere from 25 yards out to 50 yards. Each round consists of 50 shots. You will need a gun that can hold at least 2 shots. Pumps, semi autos, over/unders, and sidexsides are all welcome. Ammo should be 2 3/4", low brass, #7 1/2 or #8 shot. There is no need to use anything over 1 1/8 oz of shot (no magnums or high brass field loads). If you plan to shoot 100 rounds you will need at least 4 boxes of shells. Screw in chokes are the preferred method but fixed chokes will also work just fine. Improved cylinder will break most , if not all, of the targets they throw. A vest or pouch to hold your ammo is suggested, and hearing protection is mandatory, eye protection is highly suggested. This is not a hard core competition shoot. Just a bunch of shooters getting together for some fun. Like all times dealing with weapons, safety is the first priority. Guns will not have any more than 2 shells loaded at one time. Guns will not be loaded until the shooter is in the shooting box. Please get back with me by the 15th of March so I can make the necessary reservations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadHuntinPastor Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Re: Spring Sporting Clay Get Together You know I would love too, but bad day for me. My big Easter production wipes out just about my whole day!! Don't know the time involved for the shoot, but I'm locked up from about 10AM-5PM. Would love to go and drag HarvDog with me. Maybe we can do it again on a diff. day sometime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest agdexter Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Spring Sporting Clay Get Together AJ: You are killing me. I have waited for you to set this up and I am out of town all that week. I am leaving that morning to take my son and a crew of scouts to the Boy Scout High Adventure Camp at SeaBase in the Florida Keys to get SCUBA certifications. If the date changes, or if you do it again, please let me know. ****, Agdexter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Spring Sporting Clay Get Together AJ, It sounds like a great time but the date won't work for me. We have stuff going on at church for the kids for Easter and I need to be there. Maybe another time would be good. Thanks for the invite though.

HarvDog Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Spring Sporting Clay Get Together Hey AJ, Thanks for taking the time to set this up. Unfortunately, it seems like a bad weekend for most. Given the response so far, would you consider rescheduling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re: Spring Sporting Clay Get Together Fine, so WABS is the only one that wants to shoot with me. How about if we do it April 2nd instead? It will be the same place and same time. Now whats your excuse? AJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest agdexter Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Spring Sporting Clay Get Together AJ: I want to go, but I get back from the Boy Scout Seabase camp late on April 2nd. And yes, when you say April 9th, I will have to say that that is the day that my son has his Eagle Scout Court of Honor. After that I am open. It seems my life is planned out at least a month ahead on Saturdays. ****, I'll take a day off from work and do it during the week if you want. I would love a good excuse to take a day off from work.

AJ Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Re: Spring Sporting Clay Get Together April 2 is the date of the shoot. Too many could not make the 26th so it was moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WABS Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Re: Spring Sporting Clay Get Together AJ - I think it would be a good day for you to start shooting left handed. It looks like I may have a guest to bring along as well if the weather isn't too cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadHuntinPastor Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Spring Sporting Clay Get Together $$$ would be a big factor for me. Also if HarvDog wanted to. Most likely I'm a no this time but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
