Speaking of Chad, I just noticed his avatar.

 

WTF?!

We may be witnessing the beginning of a budding bromance.

See this thread. Pretty funny.

That 'splains it.

 

Chad is right. Jew time is anywhere from 1/2 to 2 hours late for anything that doesn't involve something free.

Yes I know trout season opens up this weekend. And I am passing up on fishing so I can go shooting and not be a lamer like you!!

 

I'm calling you at 8am and you better come! Go finishing Sunday afternoon instead!

Trout fishing is important, do not hate the man for going. Seems like some one bailed on me for Sat afternoon fishing.

Sorry Tim, but the female trumps you any day!

I plan on signing up in the morning. What time should I get ther around and how long do the sign ups take?

Get there about 9. All together it's going to take 90 to 120 minutes.

 

We'll probably be at Pistols or 100 when you're done.

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.

First off.....

 

 

MATT = FAIL

 

 

Gives everyone else crap ...... and ends up being a No Show himself.....

 

 

Now back to topic....

 

What a freakin awesome day!!!!

 

Mike, Mike's friend, Mark, Ken all on the pistol range...... Tom and Collin showed up to join us at rifle and then shotgun.....

 

In the end , we even had Tom's thrower 50feet out to make it feel like "real" trap....

 

Just a great day......

 

Thanks to everyone....

 

 

 

Sent 150rds of 9mm downrange.... as always disappointed with my accuracy....

Yeah, that was fun. Nice to see everybody.

 

After a bit of adjustment with the limit switch, my thrower performed great. For some reason, when the angle is high, it gets really easy to hit.

 

Makes me wonder which should be first...the Oscillator or the Wobbler.

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.

Well I had a post until Troy banned me so let me post again.

 

Yes Epic Fail on my part, this weekend finally caught up with me and I overslept. But it was kind of good because I've been sitting here doing school work since I woke up which I wouldn't of done if I went shooting so it was kind of for the better.

 

Glad to hear you guys had a good time, good to hear the thrower is working nicely Mark.

 

M

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

Yeah..... I banned ya for 5 min..... just to poke at ya a little

 

All in good fun Matt.... Sorry you werent there......

yeah I'm quite sad that I wasn't there as I really wanted some serious trigger time. When I went to bed this morning I said to myself, it's quite doubtful that I will wake up. And I didn't, that's what I get for two straight days of staying out late.

 

Next time!

Blah, blah, blah, buzzzzz, buzzzzzzz.

well I still had a great time! thanks for the shotgunning crash course. have my share of practicing to do! but Im now a member of CR so I can go whenever I want yayy

Just got in from CR I am now a member and really enjoyed my day shooting with a buddy of mine up there. by the time we got out of the class we just went to the handgun range. sorry i didnt meet up with anyone from the board but now that im a member there I will be there at least once a month if not more so ill be sure to be there for the next monthly get together and I can finally put names with faces.

 

Im beat from staying out till 330am lastnight but still amped up from the fun time I had there.

Matt, Matt, Matt, TOTAL FAIL. I won't even say epic, it is way beyond that :shock:

 

Awesome time today. Sun was shining, warm, and the wind was barely blowing. What more could you ask for. Great meeting Tom, and Collin for the first time. Finally got to shoot the Mosin (it didn't blow up) . And talk about a killer time blastin away on the shotgun range. Having electric throwers on the range (especially 2 of them) kicked a$$. But it is always a humbling experience when the thrower is further out, just means more practice.

 

Great time guys, till next month. Or at least next weekend at Sparta....

Sounds like everyone had a great time. Still annoyed I couldn't make it. Had a few minutes to myself late in the afternoon and decided to put the thrower together. By the time I was done I was itching to try it out and almost convinced myself to drive up to CR, but figured by the time I got up there everyone would be gone. Oh well.. gonna have to find some time to get out there and give it a test run cuz I'm sure it'll need some adjustments.

How exactly did you set up the targets - I mean, I get the outbound distance, but how apart were they "side to side" (not sure I'm asking this correctly). May have to give this a shot myself - seems like a good way to practice.

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.

Gotcha - makes sense now. Gonna have to buy/make a couple more targets stands and give it a try.

I joined up today but had to leave for a couple of hours. I came back at 2:30 and no one was at the trap range. I guess I got back a little too late. I'll get there earlier next time and hook up for some trap. I haven't shot trap in about 20 years. I went and shot pistol for awhile. Not many people there at that time. Someone was there with a S&W 500. Holy crap! - that's what I call a hand cannon.

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.

Yeah, we finished up just after 2. We try to get up to shoot clays at noon on event day. It will last longer when there are more people or we stand around and BS more.

 

Looking forward to seeing you next time.

I can only repeat what others have said it was a great day. It was good to see everybody and make friends with those I have not met before. Look forward to th next meetup.

Make sure you read page 12 of the manual about the throwing arm limit switch. Mine was improperly adjusted from the factory. I had to loosen up the bolts and move it tighter into the cam to get it to limit out sooner and hold the arm back further. Thanks to Tom for knowing that. Heh. I don't read manuals.

Yeah, I actually saw that in a video Champion has on their website. Hard to tell if everything is lined up just right since I don't have any clays I can test it with.. not to mention, even if I did, then clay would undoubtedly end up thru a neighbors window :doh:

But thanks for the heads up. That tip on the spring came in real handy!
