Let's get these going again!   Shotgun ammo is still obtainable!

____________________________________________________________

Where:
Clinton WMA Clay Range in Clinton, NJ

Address:
26 New Jersey 173
Hampton, NJ 08827
 
When:
Sunday, September 20th 2020 (Weather Permitting)

Time:
9am at the Clay range
____________________________________________________________

 
Please try and bring everything you can in terms of a gun, ammo, and clays.

A rough check list of what to bring:
- Gun(s)
- Ammo (birdshot #7.5, 8)
- Clays (Walmart's in Clinton, Flemington, and Phillipsburg generally stock them)
- Thrower if you have one
- Eyes and Ear Protection
- Shell pouch
- Beverages/snacks
- Weather-appropriate clothing and Sunblock 
- 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
Never point the muzzle at anything you're not willing to destroy
Always be aware of your 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!

I will try my best to come!

 

Bumping up - who else is coming?  May try to make a run to the rifle range too if it's not too crowded.

The weather looks reasonable - I'll do my best to make it.

I guess I had better go and find some clays.

Should be able to make it with my son and will bring extra boxes of clays.

I'm in. What time? I have a case of clays, ammo, and the second greatest scattergun to come out of Mother Russia. 

Hoping to start at about 9, 9:30'ish.  Depends on how fast I get moving lol.

I'll be there for 9am. I'm going to pack the car Saturday night so I just need to grab the shotgun. I have a thrower, but it's manual and needs to be clamped to a bench or stand, so unless we need it I'll leave it home. I plan on bringing my Other Firearm and I'll try to swap out the crappy trigger (7 lb pull) for the ALG Defense (4.5 or 5.5 lb) I have by Sat night. Is there a Dunkin Donuts near the range? We might need a Box O Joe.

I am struggling to find clays anywhere. Anybody got any leads?

I'll be at HG Easton tonight for the 2A4E shoot - I'll pick up a few cases there.

I picked up a few boxes of clays from Heritage Guild Easton.  They just got a couple pallets full.  Decent price.  135 box for $14.99.

 

Still leaning on going. Just want to confirm this is still on.

Yup!  

I've got a few cases of clays.  No not all are for me...

Does the local Walmart still sell 12 gauge ammo? I have some, but more is always better.

Not in NJ they don't.

Okay. I think I have "some". Might need to order more to replace it. 

Going to try to make it.  Depends on how family plans pan out.

Flemington Walmart out of clays.  I ll try the Clinton one in the morning.....

I should have 4 guests too. Two of them are 14 year old lads.

They can't make it until 12 but if the clay shooting is done by then I'll just take them to the rifle range.

I’m here and took pad 6 as it was filling up.

Daughter came home from sleep over not feeling away and wife is away.  

Have a good time time everyone.  Bust some clays for me.  See ya at the next one.

Got a late start. Prob be there by 11. No coffee, but I have ammo & clays. Magazines too. 

Thanks to @Krdshrk for setting this up again and to all who were there.

2nd time for me and my son but you guys make it felt like we've been coming for years, Great group.

Shot my new O/U felt great.

Also thanks for the tips Nick, @Mr.Stu and @Clifton1979

See you at the next one.

Great day today, great turnout.  Unfortunately, my thrower went down at the end of the day.  I've sent in a tech request to Champion to see if they can help, but if I can't get it fixed, we may need someone else's thrower for the next shootout...

Thanks to all that came today - Plenty of new shooters and a lot of broken clays to go along with the broken thrower!

 

Man, you need to give a little more notice on this, I don’t check the board every day...

Anyway, hope you all had fun, yesterday was a nice day for it,

Jim, keep an eye on the events & meetup section. The post was from about 2 weeks ago. There will probably be one right after Halloween. If it's not a miserable day it's usually a good turn out. 

Thanks to @Mr.Stu for letting me shoot your Benelli(?). 

I'll attempt to tune the gas on the VEPR for the next meet.

You know, I looked at it and thought it was posted the 18th not the 8th. I need more coffee.
