RecessedFilter 222 Posted December 11, 2013 Well, as I checked the weather for the rest of the week I noticed that there is a 70% chance of snow for this saturday with a possible accumulation. We all know how off those people that call themselves meteorologists can be, especially with saturday 4 days away. My apologies that this shootout is a bit more last minute than most of them. But with more snow on the way, anyone who knows me knows what this means - my favorite time of the year to shoot! SNOW SHOTGUN SHOOTOUT!!! And with that said, I would highly suggest bringing more ammo. Shooting in the snow is the best time to shoot. The best time to shoot means you'll be pulling the trigger much more. Pulling the trigger more means more shells being fired. And more shells being fired means you'll have to reload more often. You get the idea... Where: Clinton WMA clay range in Clinton, NJ Address: 26 New Jersey 173 Hampton, NJ 08827 When: Saturday Dec 14th Time: 9am at the Clay range ____________________________________________________________ A rough check list of what to bring: - Gun(s) - Ammo (birdshot #7, 7.5, 8) - Misc gun cleaning/lubing stuff - Clays - Thrower if you have one - Eyes and ears - Shell pouch - Beverages/snacks - Layer up and bring a warm jacket/gloves/hat depending on weather - Chair If you can't bring some things, we will have plenty of stuff there. If you've never shot a shotgun before, I and others will try working with you to be able to dust a clay by the end of the day! _______________________________________________ Gun rules to remember: Always treat a gun as if it was loaded Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot Always point muzzle downrange or up Always be aware of you're target/line of fire For this range, keep all guns unloaded until you're on the firing line Be smart, be safe, and we will have a fun-filled day! _____________________________________________________ Please feel free to post up with any questions or suggestions.

Lalo 13 Posted December 12, 2013 Loved shooting clays in the snow last time. This time it looks like the snow will be coming down as well. Bundle up and get ready. I need to make this one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecessedFilter 222 Posted December 13, 2013 Apparently it's supposed to start snowing around 9-10am saturday morning. In the central/northern NJ area, approximately 3/4inch of snow per hour until the early afternoon where it'll turn into a snow/rain slush mix. We are good to go!

RecessedFilter 222 Posted December 13, 2013 I have no white clays unfortunately. I painted about three dozen of them. It was a pain in the ass so I said screw this haha. Haven't made any since although they'd be so perfect for tomorrow. Hmmm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
