I got my 10x10 popups, but they have no sides. might try some tarps one day, but i don't have a heater. Perhaps park a tall SUV-type vehicle on each open side to at least block the wind, and then use Krdshrk's heater? Better than nothing? Or we could block the sides with draped sheets attached with binder clips? We should have planned better. Sheesh...where's all those damn prepper types when you need them? Don't think me rude or anti-social... but I plan to escape to my car and blast the heat periodically to thaw! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted November 12, 2017 I'll have some toe warmers with me too. They work better than the hand warmers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpio64 5,156 Posted November 12, 2017 Well, this is just dandy. Car battery croaked. I guess the cold snap put it over the edge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sota 1,191 Posted November 12, 2017 looks like my 6 year old barely used thrower battery took a dive as well. and, i've shot better. also helps if I put the field barrel on the 500 instead of the security. oops. sorry I had to bail when I did... kid got cranky and hungry.

Purple Patrick 638 Posted November 12, 2017 Great day today everyone!

Mrs. Peel 7,157 Posted November 12, 2017 That was a good time. Sadly, I think I've discovered that my athletic graces (such as they are) leave me far better suited to operating the thrower than operating a shotgun - - but I still had fun! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only shouted it once that EVERYONE SHOULD BUY A SHOCKWAVE FROM MONMOUTH ARMS!!! Should figure out some kind of "challenge" coin for shooting clays with the shockwave. 6 shells, gotta hit at least 3, maybe Also now I remember why the 500 has the security barrel on it all the time; it doesn't actually fit properly in the save with the field barrel attached! I might be able to fix that though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio64 5,156 Posted November 12, 2017 Did anyone manage to bust a bird with a shockwave? I was really looking forward to trying out the shockwave I bought at MONMOUTH ARMS from STEVE conveniently located on Rt9 in Marlboro Twp, just minutes away from Rt 18. I also wanted to try out the rest of the flash targets I made. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine busting one would be extremely difficult. First, the obvious, you can't really line up a shot easily. I have seen a longer strap used on the forestock that acts similarly to a vertical grip and a sort of wrist strap attached to the sling stud of the birdshead grip. Second, it's a cylinder bore so the shot will spread very quickly, you really gotta get on the bird fast and pop it inside of 20 yards. On a regulation field I think it would be virtually impossible since the trap house is already 15 yards out, but at least with the thrower right on the firing line you have a decent chance. A shell with a flight control wad would probably help too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Softball sized pumpkins explode nicely. something like that. you'll learn soon enough! it's too bad it's verboten, but I bet #4 shot would be more consistent at getting clays. larger balls and tighter pattern.

JimB1 555 Posted November 12, 2017 Man, sorry I missed it. I was really trying to get out there today but it wasn’t in the cards. Hope to catch you all at the next one. My friend Ed said he went and had a great time. Hope he got to meet everyone. I’ve been hounding him to get on the board. He’s just been lurking for a while maybe seeing everyone is friendly will push him... -Jim 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
