    I called Buttonwood once or twice in years past, and they said I needed to make an appointment in advance. They only had 5-stand last I checked. Shouldn't be too far from the Clinton range where they meetup now.

    I wish the clays course at Pocono Manor would have made it. That was a nice course in the woods, rustic, and lots of walking.

    I never shot there but I heard good things about it. Apparently it was a mess in regard to the management of it, and who owned what. One of my favorites was Big Spring up in Sussex. For those who remember "The Pit" would surely agree it was fast and furious. Another great track is Mid Hudson Sporting Clays in New Paltz, NY. Good people and good targets.

    How many stations?

     

    What do they get a bird?

     

    Any online info?

    It's $75/100 birds on a ten station course, or $100/100 birds on a twenty station course. That includes a trapper. You can bring your own ammo but it must be fiber wads. They rent guns, golf carts, and sell ammo on-site.

    Sorry if this was already posted, but I did not see it.  It is VERY graphic!  I thought it should be posted in the reloading section as it is more likely that a squib or grossly over charged round would come from reloading.  Although tough to watch, it is a sound reminder that we need to be extremely careful during the entire reloading process.  Yes...I know some of these catastrophic failures could be something else.

    I use the Lyman Turbo Sonic cleaning solution for the brass cleaning. I've done metal pistol parts including the frames, but I use Simple Green instead of the Lyman. Again, seems to work well but it's almost just as easy and quicker to scrub quick with a stiff brush. I suppose if you left all of the components IN the frame it would make a lot more sense. I'm a bit anal so I break down everything for a thorough cleaning. I'd be nervous about moisture if I left it assembled also.

    It gets the brass cleaned nice and gets the primer pockets pretty good, however the drying time required for the brass takes its overall time advantage away. I do like how I can clean brass within 20+ minutes and forget about it verse tumbling for hours.

    I clean mine in one or two cycles of 8 minutes. Then I cook them for 20 min in the toaster oven at 190 deg. Nice and dry.

    Charles Daly O/U imports from Miroku were in the years 1963 through 1976. Quality guns if you can find them, they ranged from field models with extractors & a single inertia trigger to higher grades for field, trap & skeet with ejectors, selective trigger, even the Broadway rib on their trap gun. The only downside to these early models were fixed chokes, which were common for any double from that era.

     

    Charles Daly made another go of imports, with guns being made by Sabatti from the late 90's through 2005. I believe they had production made by Fausti after that.

     

    You can find an older CD-Miroku for a grand or less, but I have seen the smaller gauges go for a bit more these days. Ditto for the older Winchester 101 (produced in Japan by the Olin-Kadensha Corporation under the supervision of Winchester from 1963 to the late 80's,) which you can also find floating about for about the same price. Both are very good guns.

    My goto gun for Sporting Clays weighs in at 9+ lbs so I wanted something a little livelier for FITASC. I found a Miroku on GB with Briley 20ga tubes for $650(pawn shop spelled the name wrong which may have helped). Comes in at about 6.5lbs, swings great, pay for the recoil ;-)
