Shotgun Shootout! June 7th at Clinton WMA

Recommended Posts

speaking of throwers, what do people have, where did they get them, and how much? I'm thinking of buying one like this...

Thats a nice thrower, especially if you go alone you can launch yourself. Mine I bought at Ramsay outdoors years ago. Its nothing special just your average pull string spring arm thrower.

Yea I'd want to get something I could use solo.

You know, every now and then I run into a forum member while visiting a range or buying/selling items and every time I make it a point to mention these shootouts. I figure since they're close enough to my area, they should be close enough to drive to Clinton. I dont think I've come accross one person who knew about these monthly shootouts at Clinton.

 

I wonder how many forum member we could gather together if we actually tried to advertise this throughout the site. Just a though...

Hey how much ammo do you guys usually bring? I found a box and another half box of clays in the garage today score, also a .50cal ammo can with a few boxes of target shells and my shell bag I was looking everywhere for.

I bring 50 shells, usually. I'll probably bring a little more, as my nephew will be with me.

And I'll bring a box of clays.

I'm bringing my O/U, we'll see if I shaved enough metal off the internal hammer to push the firing pin out far enough on the bottom barrel. Looked good on a snap cap. I should have primed an empty shell and tried shooting it but I didn't have time. If not I'm bringing my Browning semi also, so I'll have something that works. I have plenty of pumps also a few other semi's. but I'm driving my wrangler and don't feel like packing half my safe. If my 20g wasn't in a pile of pieces I would bring it too. Maybe next month.

Sorry our stay was so short, but it was my fault for not  bringing water to drink.  Lesson learned... :)

 

My nephew had a great time and he will be back soon. We'll be focused on pistol training for him for a while, but he'll be back.

 

Thanks to Lalo for the use of the Saiga!

 

Regards,

HB

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
