Bare arms:

I don't know if this has been posted before, but it's new to me.

Nice. Enjoy it.

But this is for his daughter - unless it's a pimp cane, it's just plain not cool.... Hot little girls twist their ankles, too. Paint it pink.

A plain old, simple cane with a nice crook. "I have a bad knee (bum hip, twisted ankle, earache), officer". Better than a flashlight or tire iron.

Hell or high water, I'm gonna try to make this one.

It's a black synthetic stock, 28" barrel, comes with a modified choke tube. I just ordered 250 shells online (Federal #7.5) and one of those hand throwers ($4 I figured I'd give it a try). Just remember, pretty much every Sunday at Sparta Trap. Might as well get used to the distances sooner rather then later.

Takes some longer than others, but they all see the light eventually.

Congrats, good choice and nice gun. Expect many years of use and enjoyment with it.

Welcome to the group.

Sorry I missed it. Glad you guys had fun. And another convert. K

Welcome to the group.

equestrian photographer??

Congrats. Now get out there and do your part to support the economy.

Nice.

I have a folder that I store a bunch of images in, and just keep changing depending on my mood. My favorites are Jessica Rabbit and Betty Boop in a thong with guns, but I have a couple of Elmer Fudds, a flag-painted nude, Aldous Huxley, Peter Sellers as Dr. Strangelove, a Giger image, and a bunch of others. I just keep rotating them around. I like the change. I'm just an avatar whore. The monkey is one of those Japanese monkeys that live around high altitude hot springs, and the irony of a monkey enjoying a hot tub while I'm toiling away at work amuses me.

The Walther does feel very toy-ish in the hand, and it's particular about what you feed it. Mine chokes on anything that isn't MiniMags or Federal bulk pack. It gets dirty quick and needs to be cleaned after every range session. That said, it's a cheap little gun to play with, but never mistake it for a bullseye gun at anything longer that 15 yards or so. It'll hit the target further out, but the short sight radius and oddly small grip don't lend themselves to precision shooting. Also, the mag release on the trigger guard takes some getting used to. YMMV K

Ramsey's in Paramus had a ton in stock last time I was there but they are $9 for 100 rounds = $45/500 WalMart in Milford usually has them available. I think they were $6.87/100 last time I was there.

I don't think I can make it out on Saturday this week. I have a couple of outside things to get done, and I want to do them early, and beat the 90+ degree heat. You guys have fun, and bust a few for me.

Yep. I'll be there.

Amen to that.

You need to get out there with us when the group gets together. We've turned quite a few people on to shooting clays. Watching them explode into dust is huge fun, and a nice change from the relative boredom of punching paper.

This is probably a REALLY stupid question, but keep in mind I have never shot a shotgun, shot clays, or even watched someone shooting a shotgun / clays so bear with me - Im assuming you arent supposed to clean up your thrown clays? (hence the biodegradable) Nope. Anything that hits the field stays on the field. The weather will eventually take care of the debris.

The shotgun field at CR is just that... a field. There are about a dozen tables at the shooting line that you can clamp a spring thrower to, or stake a thrower into the ground. They only allow target loads, #7 1/2 shot or smaller, and only biodegradable clays, which can be bought at the range for $11.00/case of 135. This is a better price than can be found anywhere else, and a chunk of the money stays at the range. No restrictions on the type of gun. If it's legal, you can shoot it (the exception is a Judge revolver loaded with .410. No go with that). I'll sometimes show up with a Mossberg 500 HD setup, and I've seen others do the same. If you have an electric thrower with an adapter, there is power available. They expect you to clean up after yourself, sweep the empties and put them and any empty boxes in/near the trash pails. Rakes are provided to help with the cleanup. Eyes and ears all the time. I think that covers it. It's fun to shoot there with a group, with someone operating a thrower (or several), but a pain by yourself when you're trying to load, pull and shoot without any help. Even the electric throwers with foot pedal releases tend to put you off your stance some. I suppose a voice release would work, but it's definitely more fun with a few guys shooting together.

I'm really looking forward to this one.
