Cherry Ridge - Sunday, 8/16

Anybody heading out to CR tomorrow? I may show up for a while in late AM or early PM. Nothing fancy, just haven't shot the handguns in a while, and I need to practice with Godzilla for the N/S Jamboree. Just put on a recoil pad, and it lengthened the stock about an inch. I need to see if it works for me now. I think the stock was too short before.

Man, it was hot out there today. The thermometer in the car was reading 86 in the shade. Didn't stay too long... Lynn has very low tolerance for heat. Just about an hour on the handgun range, and about the same on the shotgun range. The recoil pad helps a lot. Barely felt the gun at all, and the extra length worked out well. Getting better, but more practice is required before the 13th.

I'm looking forward to the company.

 

It would be great if he comes. I'll remind him when I speak to him.

Thinking about just biting the bullet and just getting the Mossberg 500 @ Dick's .... $249, and I have a decent gun.....

 

Dont know..... :oops:

If you are going to shoot it twice a month suck it up and buy one. You will be happy

 

See Ken, size matters. Especially if your pet name is godzilla.

 

 

You guys better get Matt out practicing

I went on Saturday afternoon, I brought the pull girl, she likes pulling the rope on the trap shooter. I shot 75 shells, I've got to get out again before the great North South meetup of 2009. It wasn't too terribly hot yesterday, especially towards the later part of the afternoon. Today I was in the pool with the kids - way too hot to be out there shooting.

 

Also went over to the silhouette range and did a little plinking. I made some supports for my steel reactives but I have to make some modifications to hold them square.

You won't go wrong with a Mossberg 500. Reliable as they get.

Ditto, and at that price its right on par for what I paid for my rem 870 so your getting a good deal.

I don't know what else to call it. The damn thing is now (with the recoil pad) a hair over 55" long. I'm tempted to have it painted green with lizard scales and fiery red eyes on the stock. It shoots a lot softer now, but just lifting it and and fighting the momentum when it swings is a nice upper body workout.

Yeah, and if he misses with the first shot, he just bats the clay down with the end of the muzzle.
