Dust some clays before Election Tuesday!  

____________________________________________________________

Where:
Clinton WMA Clay Range in Clinton, NJ

Address:
26 New Jersey 173
Hampton, NJ 08827
 
When:
Sunday, November 1st 2020 (Weather Permitting)

Time:

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 Ear Protection
- Shell pouch
- Beverages/snacks
- Weather-appropriate clothing and Sunblock 
- 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!

80% in. +1

[brucin 923]

In Thrower clays maybe Cin and 1 or 2 others depending on the weather. Cin doesn't like the cold.

Great an extra hour to sleep before busting some clays

[gleninjersey 2,141]

I'm a solid +2 right now.  Maybe a more.  Will update as I hear back from friends and family.

@Zeke is alive and well.  Reports of him being handcuffed, blindfolded and gagged, having candle wax dripped on him are false.  It's probably honey.

Probably crushed pineapple.

Where are you guy's finding clays?  

Middlebrook Firearms usually has them but sold out.  The Clinton Wal-Mart says they are sold out on the website.

Probably try Heritage Guild in Branchburg tomorrow.

I think I have a box in the basement but probably have 2-3 people joining me so wanted to pick another box or two up.

It's probably a hike for you, but Gene Solomon always has clays, and the best price anywhere on 135ct White Flyer AA.    The other problem, his hours.  Wed & Fri 6:30-9ish  Sun 1-4.  If you do a lot of trap shooting or reloading, he is "the guy".  People from all over the tri-state area go to his shop, it's that good.   If you go, bring cash.

[Sota 1,191]

probably using up my last box this next outing.

[gleninjersey 2,141]

@Scorpio64 What's Gene Solomon's place called and located? I'll have to pay him a visit to load up.

I'm hoping Heritage Guild in Branchburg has some.  They aren't too far from me.  

 

[Sota 1,191]

trying to remember, but i think there was a big pallet of them at HG a couple weeks ago.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I know for sure Heritage Guild Easton has them - $18/135 case.  Pricey but they're in stock.

It will be COLD Sunday AM - I will have my propane heater but dress appropriately.  That heater doesn't work if it's windy!

Also - don't forget to set your clocks back!  DST ends this weekend!

[gleninjersey 2,141]

Thanks.  Will check Wal-Mart in Easton and if they dont have them then Heritage Guild it is.

RTSP in Union doesn't have any.  They may not carry them.

Solomon's Shooter Supply in Farmingdale, only a few minutes off 195 and less than ten from 18.   If you want to see his website, google Howell Trap Club.  It will have address and hours.  It's a pretty lame site, one of those free hosts, but it has all the essential info.

[Fzaetz 9]

I’m in.  I’ll bring my electric thrower and some clays.  I may have a few friends but not sure on numbers yet. 

[gleninjersey 2,141]

Heritage Guild in Branchburg has clays.  Just picked up four boxes.  They had about 20-25 left.

I'll have to check out Solomon's Shooter Supply soon and stock up on some boxes. 

[brucin 923]

Boonton walmart has 90 count white flyer for $7.47. I'll bring a few extra if anyone can't find any.

[Bklynracer 1,265]

I should be able to make it

+1.    Will bring extra clays to share

[Bklynracer 1,265]

@Krdshrk 

Nick, Thanks for setting up again, Good day out, weather held off just long enough.

Good seeing members I knew and meeting new ones.

Day out shooting with friends is always a good day!

[Krdshrk 3,877]

Thanks everyone for coming out today.  The weather held off for the most part!  

I had the video camera going - I may have to put it on top of the car next time for a better view!

If anyone doesn't want to be in the video, let me know - I left it as unlisted but you all can view it.  I will remove and edit if necessary.

It's just mostly clipped shooting footage.  Didn't feel like getting fancy.

 

[Bklynracer 1,265]

Thanks for the video and taking the time to edit and post it.

[gleninjersey 2,141]

Great video.  I should have given a shout out to Biden and the Libs.  "Four more years!!  You're going going to loooooose!!!"
