Sota 1,191 Posted May 9, 2019 ____________________________________________________________ Where: Clinton WMA clay range in Clinton, NJ Address: 26 New Jersey 173 Hampton, NJ 08827 When: May 18th Time: 9am at the Clay range ____________________________________________________________ Please try and bring everything you can in terms of a gun, ammo, and clays. A rough check list of what to bring: - Gun(s) - Ammo (birdshot #7.5, 8) - Clays (Walmart's in Clinton, Flemington, and Phillipsburg generally stock them) - 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 Never point the muzzle at anything you're not willing to destroy Always be aware of your 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. Attending: 1. sota (thrower, clays, sarcasm, bad jokes, gimpy arm, and of course guns) 2. 3. 4. All right, people! We've been lax about killing clays and turning the field orange. Let's correct that.

Krdshrk 3,871 Posted May 10, 2019 I'm a maybe - have a kid's birthday party that day. I was actually thinking of calling one on the 25th... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel 7,148 Posted May 10, 2019 I'm in... I don't have a shotgun... but I know people are usually kind about loaning! I'll bring a box of clays... and some kind of snack (cookies or whatever). BTW, now that it's spring... don't forget to put sunscreen on, everyone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJM981 924 Posted May 10, 2019 I have range safety orientation from 8am-1pm. I'm a bit baffled why it is 5 hours. I doubt it will be. I couldn't see it being more than an hour or 2. I'll put the shotgun, clays, and shells in the car as I think I'll be about 30 min from Clinton. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 25th is Memorial Day Weekend. I can't make then either and others may have some plans. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer just relaying info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
