Shotgun Shootout! Sunday Nov 6 at Clinton WMA

[Junior 14]

So are there any special instructions? This will be my first time going. Do I just drive in and look for the large group?

[Sota 1,191]

Sounds like we're taking at least the left most "ports" for ourselves, hopefully. If you get there after 9am look for the silver jeep liberty with plow signs on the side. I'll be the guy with the kid, two popup tents setup, and possibly the gay pride t-shirt if it gets warm enough.

 

ETA: Drez... grow the damn beard back already. Was so much easier when we could tell people to look for the al qaeda looking dude smoking a stogie.

 

ETA2: I'm ASSUMING Drez means the left most ports. the ones sort of hidden by the trees.

Thrower is in the truck, got the optima yellow top on the charger, 3 cases of clays in truck, and I grabbed another case of shells this evening. Just have to pull some cases out and grab a bunch of shotguns. Probably leave my house around 8am. Takes about an hour to get to Clinton.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I have 2 cases of shells and will supposedly have 3-5  others with me.
 

Edit - don't forget daylight savings time tonight...

Will be there with a wife and kid - will try to come at 9am, but it's now ~2hr drive for me, so might be a little late

Don't worry about the timing as much - I'll be there late

Good luck today, folks! I'll be with you in spirit.

As it turns out, I attended a "shootout" in Florida, yesterday.  But a little different kind.   This was a "NFA" shoutout.  You were welcome to bring your own inventory (semi's, shotties, and any NFA items you might own), and/or you were also welcome to shoot some of the NFA items on display by the sponsor. You feed them your own ammo. 

 

I continued to get some more practice in with my LE6920, and I was hitting some of the steel targets at 65 yards.  And, just for you, Krdshrk, I finally got to brake in my JM Pro.  A guy there had a "Soda can" launcher which took the place of some clays. It was cool to watch the soda cans ♫♪ "burstin' in air... " ♪♫ But the highlight of my shooting that day was putting 100 rounds through a MAC-10 9mm equivalent. It's funny, but although there was very little kick when in "single fire" mode, you do have to adopt a different stance (lean more forward) when firing full auto as it will try and push you back a little.

 

But the overall highlight of the afternoon was winning the grand prize at the raffle , a GSG 1911 .22 pistol!  Totally unexpected!   

 

 

So nice to walk way with that gun.... and all that was required was a NICS check and a 4473.  They did it right at the range by phone.

Since I have a FL CWFL, I didn't have to wait 3 days.  WooHoo!

 

A really nice day.   Hope you have the same later today.

[Mr.Stu 1,918]

There's a chance I could drop in with my girls after 1 if you guys are still there. Are they allowed to use their .22 rifles?

[Sota 1,191]

.22 on the clay range? i'm pretty sure that's a "no."

you could go over to the other side of the WMA and shoot there, I believe.

Arnold, great to hear you had a fun day! Wish you could make the shootout buddy. Hope all is well with you (and I'm jealous about your 6920).

If you bring them over to the rifle range down the street. They can shoot rifles there. Shotguns only on the clay range.

[Mr.Stu 1,918]

Thanks for the quick answers. We've decided to head down to the shore since this is likely the last nice day of the year.

[ChrisJM981 924]

Where is the shotgun range? Think I'm at rifle. .

I hope you found it. The entrance is at the next brown road sign about 100 yd further down the road.

[Purple Patrick 638]

Solid shoot today guys and gals.... until some a hole brought pumpkins and ruined all the fun

[Malice4you 627]

I was there pretty early (for me) and I swore that someone else left them there before us. They may have been hidden for safe keeping, thats all. Thats how I remember it, anyway.

 

Had a great time today, even when not hitting my targets, which may have been most of them. My friends also had a blast. It was great to see everyone and meet new people. Thanks guys for everything!

[ChrisJM981 924]

Soooo much fun. I forgot how much I enjoy shooting clays. Ordering a choke for the VEPR when I get home.

good day. much fun. deaded pumpkins. pew pew.

[always_an_eagle 165]

I had a fun day today meeting everyone and shooting some shotguns. Birdshot and pumpkins are a good mix.

[Sota 1,191]

just unpacked the jeep. came out to my garage smelling like an expended ordinance factory. Think the wind was blowing the powder residue on the vehicles, and some stuck to it. Smells GREAT in there now.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Didn't get a lot of pics this time....  Album:  http://imgur.com/a/odfRf

if anyone else took pictures or video, please either post up links to it here, or possibly get in touch with krdshrk to add them to his album, since he's sort of the unofficial photo documenter of these things.

if anyone has video of my kid going pew pew, PM me and i'll send you my email to send it to.

 

thanks!

[Sota 1,191]

also... i want to know more about that VEPR12.

[BlueLineFish 615]

Great time as usual yesterday. My list of unfired shotguns dropped considerably. On the way home I bought a vepr 12 off gunbroker..lol

[Smokin .50 1,907]

Catch you guys next time.  Glad to hear ya'll had a great time!  I caught a flat tire Sunday morning, so limped-it over to Mavis for a flat repair.  I stayed local to make sure the repair was "solid".....

 

Saturday's NSSF Match had $9K in Prizes!  It was a HOOT!
