Clay Shoot, Clinton WMA ** Sunday 6/11/23 **

[Scorpio64 4,892]

Howdy folks.  It's about time we get together to turn some money into noise.  Come join us 6-11-23 at the Clinton WMA shotgun range for a morning of clay busting fun. 

If you will be joining the fun, please let us know how many will attend and what you are bringing so we can plan for supplies.

Shooting commences at 0900 and keeps going until we get bored, run out of ammo, or hear mom calling us home.    Shoots usually go until about 1300, leaving plenty of time for everyone to stop in at any time and join the party.

As always, these clay shoots are informal gatherings, just plain old fun to promote clay sports and encourage training, please feel free to bring friends and family.  Shooters of all experience are welcome, if you have never shot clays before, or want some tips on improving your skills, this is your chance to dust off that shotgun you bought years ago and gain some needed experience.

What you will need.

Bring your shotgun(s), as much #7.5 or #8 lead target/field loads as you want to shoot, and depending on how much you want to shoot, a carton of clay pigeons would be great.  Targets are usually available at Walmart in Clinton, Flemington, and Phillipsburg.  Don't forget eyes and ears.  Also recommended is a chair, sun screen, insect repellent, and something to drink.  There is a port-a-potty on site

If you don't have a shotgun and just want to see what clay shoot'n is all about, a loaner pump action will be available.

Basic Checklist

• Shotgun
• Ammo
• Eye and ear protection (mandatory)
• Clay targets (optional but recommended for volume shooters)
• Shell pouch (optional)
• Folding chair (optional)
• Water or whatever

My wife's birthday.  Not happening this time.  I do need to get the Mossberg out of hiding as I haven't used it in 2 years.  I also want to knock the dust off the old 20 gauge.

This would be a great opportunity for your wife to shoot that case of #8 12Ga target loads you bought for her b'day.

 

[Kn1089 8]

I’m headed to Lehigh valley sporting clays on sat, if I have the energy I’ll try to make it there sun! If so, I have 5-6 boxes of clays laying around I can bring. So as of now I’m a maybe!

[Cheflife15 436]

My baby is due to be born on the 15th so im on call with the wife. Baby will be too small to shoot a shotgun. I would love to get to the next one!

She'd turn that on me and then I wouldn't be able to debate "the pork roll issue" here any longer.

Pro tip:  When my wife goes to the range with me, I always stand BEHIND her when she's on the line.

I'll be doing a south jerz shoot at Stafford Forge WMA in a few weeks.  Probably the front end of July.

[Malice4you 624]

Currently in +2+

Thanks

[Mr.Stu 1,686]

OK, I'm in.

I'll bring a trap, clays and guns available for loan, 12g & 20g.

I'll probably toss the EZ-up in as well for some shade.

[brucin 850]

Bummer can't make it. Maybe next time.

[Bklynracer 1,224]

Thanks for the reach out.

I’m trying to open up my schedule, will let you know. if I do will bring a couple newbie’s, clays, 

12 ga loaner gun

[kc17 620]

I'm a definite maybe; I'll have a case of clays with me if so. 

[Lawnmower2021 394]

It's tough to break away for Sunday mornings, so likely not. I could try to convince my wife for us all to go together, but the kids are too small to keep track of.

Tell your old lady that you are volunteering to clean up state land that morning.  Technically it's not a lie if you police all your spent shells.  Just make sure you put the shotty and stuff in the car the night before.

Thanks for the tag, but can't make this upcoming weekend.  Keep me "in the loop" though, I haven't gotten the Turk shorty o/u out of the safe in....too long.

I would love to make this clay shoot if it’s a go.

[Mr.Stu 1,686]

I'm getting my gear together for tomorrow.

Is anyone bringing a little person? I'm asking to find out if I should pack my youth sized 20g.

[Krdshrk 3,801]

What time are you getting there?  I have a thing at about 10AM but I'm not sure how long it'll take...  Maybe will come later on in the AM.  If not, Enjoy!

@Scorpio64 said first shots at 9am. I'm only 10 minutes away and have nothing else planned for the day so I'll be there for the start and probably stay as long as there's anyone left to BS and shoot with or until I get hungry. I'll probably get there a bit before 9 to unpack my car.

[voyager9 3,351]

Is there any plan for a south jersey group shooty-thingy?  I need an excuse to get to the range but I’ve never shot clays before.
