Welcome to the group.

Greetings and welcome.

Peter, Welcome to the Brotherhood. Mazel Tov, and have a perfect day.

Welcome to the group. The southern guys will have a lot of information on shops, group activities and ranges down there.

I think the morning is NG. I'm supposed to be painting the living room. If I paint in the morning, Sparta is close enough that I can sneak in a couple of rounds while it's drying. We'll see how it goes.

I have a long list of chores, but I'm gonna try to get out for a couple of rounds. Anyone else?

Nice. Have fun with it.

It's a damn shame we don't live there. Have fun with the new gun.

The guys at Hercules who've been doing this longer than I've been alive generally shoot from the 16 yard line with either an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke. When they shoot handicap from the more distant lines, a lot of them switch to Full for fear that any other pattern is so open that the clay could fly right through the cloud and not get hit. There's some useful choke data here: http://www.wildfowlmag.com/tips_strategies/shotgun_062304/

BTW, I think we should show our appreciation to the guys who hump their electric throwers in to the range so that the rest of us can shoot by not allowing them to pay for birds. Clays are on the rest of us, guys, and thanks. Your machines make it more fun. All in agreement?

Thanks, Dan. Good catch. I guess that's why I'm not the Community Organizer. I nominate you. Open for rescheduling to the next Sunday due to Mother's Day.

Be there for the fun.

Testicular shriveling, impotence, loss of libido and projectile vomiting. Just ask Matt for the details.

Welcome to the group. We have an official group meetup at CR on the second Sunday of the month during the warm weather. Attendance varies, but it's always a good time. Everyone brings a bunch of stuff, and everyone gets to try anything on the tables. We usually meet at the handgun range and move around from there, winding up on the shotgun range to blow up some clays. Besides that, there are usually members at the range on any weekend. Just watch the Events & Meetups forum. Now that the weather is warmer, there'll be lots of activity at CR.

Hey Ed, Welcome to the group. Ken

It's looking like the next meetup is gonna have a big turnout. Some of the new CR members, some of the south guys, and most of the regulars. Should be fun. I bet there's even a slim outside chance that Matt might grace us with his presence.

From the table, the first target was about 10 yards out, with the left edge of the frame sort of in line with the left edge of the table. The back target was about 12 or 15 feet behind that one, with about a third of it visually behind the front one. If I stand at the left side of the table, about half of the back target is visible. Moving to the right of the table exposes more of the back target. It worked out pretty well.

Blah, blah, blah, buzzzzz, buzzzzzzz.

You guys hear an annoying buzzing??? I can't quite put my finger on it, but it sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher.

I don't know about that gun in particular, but the Belgian Brownings are held in very high regard among the Fudds. I suggest you have it looked at by a competent appraiser with shotgun experience. It may be worth quite a bit.

Nice going, Matt. Any little bit of group credibility you had is now in the dumpster. No show. In spite of (or perhaps because of) Matt's absence, we had a great time today. I was able to set up 2 targets on the handgun range, one at about 10 yards, and the other at about 15, and did some practice jumping from near to far targets with the CZ. A nice exercise, and I'm getting a bit better at hitting multiple targets. The shotgun range was big fun as always. Everybody had a great time, the weather was ideal, having 2 nice throwers was a plus, and bringing the thrower out into the field was an added extra fun time. It was nice to meet Pronoun (Colin) and put another face with one of the members, and as always, Tom, Mike, Troy, Brian, Mark made for a fun day.

I'll probably get there around 9:30 JFT. Just bringing the CZ and shotguns. See you guys tomorrow, and good luck to all the new members. Be sure to stop and say hi, or feel free to hang out. It's always fun.

Too many fu Kudos to the PD for catching these animals as fast as they did. Nice job, guys.

Looks like the only survivors will be in the back row.
