Don't they only have skeet and trap? I really like the whole "course" atmosphere of sporting clays. I'd be willing to try it though. I'm really not a fan of having to drive so far to shoot.

I have no idea what type of clay shooting is available since I have never shot there, but there is a range in Fairfield, if driving is your main concern.

I keep meaning to check that place out. I'd definitely go there just to get some practice in for an hour or so since it's so close to me.

That is quite a drive, will have to look at a map and see how far it is from me here in Central Jersey. Tony, it was a HIKE to go see you and get that reloading station with my wife. I wish I lived closer to the South Jersey area for shooting. Going to try M&M sometime this year also.

This used to happen to me after a long day of shooting. I found it was a combo of my muffs and shooting glasses. the muffs would put pressure on the arms of the glasses and pressinto the side of my head. I never noticed any pain until I took them off. Now i just use plugs, no muffs

Yep, sometimes happens to me... combination of all factors. dehydration, recoil, fumes, uncomfy ear muffs, tight glasses.

 

I need prefer rx glasses to shoot (only a -1), and in the begining, I would use my regular rx glasses. Problem is, the frame is a little tight to the head, which is fine for short drives, or meetings which are no longer than an hour, however not that comfy for long matches (6 plus hours). Throw on ear muffs on top, you don't get as good of a seal, and it starts to hurt even more.

 

Ended up getting a new set of rx glasses with transition lenses, in a low profile frame, that works really well with most muffs, or better yet with ear plugs. =) Although I would double up if you are shooting with rifles or guys shooting compensated guns.

 

One solution I tried, but did not get yet, was Gel pads for the ear muffs. Tried one pair at BA, and was amazed. They seal glasses really well and are really comfy.

I remember the first time I used my caldwell electronic ear muffs at ba and I had the volume way up on them, it was picking up the sound of the air cleaning system the whole time I was shooting it sounded like a steady hum, anyway when I got home I had a banging headache!!! since then I have lowered the volume when i go to the range no more headaches...
