Well, as I checked the weather for the rest of the week I noticed that there is a 70% chance of snow for this saturday with a possible accumulation. We all know how off those people that call themselves meteorologists can be, especially with saturday 4 days away. My apologies that this shootout is a bit more last minute than most of them. But with more snow on the way, anyone who knows me knows what this means - my favorite time of the year to shoot!

SNOW SHOTGUN SHOOTOUT!!!

And with that said, I would highly suggest bringing more ammo. Shooting in the snow is the best time to shoot. The best time to shoot means you'll be pulling the trigger much more. Pulling the trigger more means more shells being fired. And more shells being fired means you'll have to reload more often. You get the idea...

 

 

Where:

Clinton WMA clay range in Clinton, NJ

 

Address:

26 New Jersey 173

Hampton, NJ 08827

 

When:

Saturday Dec 14th

Time:

9am at the Clay range

____________________________________________________________

 

A rough check list of what to bring:

- Gun(s)

- Ammo (birdshot #7, 7.5, 8)

- Misc gun cleaning/lubing stuff

- Clays

- Thrower if you have one

- Eyes and ears

- Shell pouch

- Beverages/snacks

- Layer up and bring a warm jacket/gloves/hat depending on weather

- 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

Always point muzzle downrange or up

Always be aware of you're 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!

Awesome - my Mossberg is supposed to arrive at FFL on Friday! Hope I can make it. 

If the weather's good then I'm in.  Have a new toy to try out.

I'm a maybe. Birthday weekend for me....tons of family stuff to do

Not sure I can make this one either... I'll try.

Not sure if I can make it hopefully I will be going out to PA to buy a new gun as long as my boss comes through with a nice Christmas bonus. My thrower is up and working again if you guys need another one just let me know.

I ll be there.

 

Ice Bowl Shootout !!!!'!!!!! Yeah......baby!!!

Might only be able to stop in early for this one. I have to see what's going on.

Haven't ever shot in the snow before, will be interesting.

 

See you there!

Loved shooting clays in the snow last time. This time it looks like the snow will be coming down as well. Bundle up and get ready. I need to make this one!

 

Apparently it's supposed to start snowing around 9-10am saturday morning. In the central/northern NJ area, approximately 3/4inch of snow per hour until the early afternoon where it'll turn into a snow/rain slush mix. 

 

We are good to go!

Recessed are you bringing out the white clays?

You got a truck and a shorter drive, lol.

 

I'll see.  Maybe I'll go for a little 'till it starts snowing hard..

I have no white clays unfortunately. I painted about three dozen of them. It was a pain in the ass so I said screw this haha. Haven't made any since although they'd be so perfect for tomorrow. Hmmm?

As long as one person can come tomorrow that's ok. I need someone to pull for me :-)

Working all weekend. Hwve fun and stay warm boys

If the weather's good then I'm in.  Have a new toy to try out.

A very attractive new toy.  I wanted to say pretty, but that doesn't seem right.

 

Looking forward to hearing how it shoots.

Unfortunately, I'll miss you guys tomorrow. I do look forward to the next one.

No go for me. Snow blower ain't starting and my back is going to need it this weekend.

Yeah - the snow's already started here - I'm not gonna risk it.

Sorry girls you ladies missed an awesome day. Glad to see the die hards that made it out. Awesome time.

How's it going out there? The wind seems harsh.

Not much Wind today. Snow Yes....but wind not so much......

 

Pictures to follow.

I wanted to come but I didn't get in till almost 3am. I was dreaming of bringing the new Saiga 12 out while I was in my warm bed. I tried to get up but no luck.

 

 

 

 

 

Nice!

Man, looks like a Great time. I'm sorry I missed it, but I woke up feeling a cold coming on so I laid low. I'll be down for the next one.
