About the most fun I can think of, Guns, outside of a few "unmentionables!" I haven't really been into the sport heavily for a few years, but I do still bust the occassional clay pigeon. I like to use my 870 Wingmaster with a Mod choke for that purpose.

Went to shoot the "Western Ohio Classic" today...41 out of 100...best score when we left was 78...Dang hard ta pick up the clay's sometimes...ph'arkin tree's...

Hey, I do clays......... wait........ does it count if I pick up pieces of the clays, and bust 'em with a .22 at 50 yards ?

Shooting clays is the best. 270 at 300 yards really messes one up. More fun a 30-50 yards with a handgun though. Never shot at them with a shotgun the way their supposed to be though.

Hmmm...well considering how small of pieces y'al would be talkin' 'bout...yeah!...

BTW, I did pick up a Unertl 14 x for my Winchester model 75, haven't sighted it in yet...but, I'm hoping for good results...

lohki...I do the same thing with rifles, but it is a more fun challenge when their flying...give it a go when the opportunity presents itself...

Sorry...broadband is slow and I did a double post...

JLA · 10-05-2007, 08:04 PM

yeah, regularly... and here's me tool of choice:

just got the barrel back from the 'shop" had the remchokes reinstalled, it measures a short 19.75 inches and balances like a high-end O/U...

Hi,

I shoot clays here in Eastern NC. Dont get to go as much as I would like though. I shoot a Remington 1100.

ponycar17 · 09-14-2008, 02:07 PM

I enjoy the heck out of sporting clays with my Rem. 870 but I don't get to go as often as I'd like due to other priorities. There are several guys I work with that go shooting sporting clays 2 times per month at a couple of local ranges. My favorite range is in an abandoned quarry in Elberton, GA but when we go there after work it's 12:00 AM before I finally get home. That's a bit late for work the next day... Good sport though!

TranterUK · 09-14-2008, 02:14 PM

Clay pigeons? crunchy but no favour.

Shellback · 09-14-2008, 03:16 PM

Every chance I get, after work on the weekends anytime it doesn't rain I should have stock clays, with my new shotgun I can't reload fast enough it's my favorite past time. It helps to have property I can shoot on too.

I'm joining the league I tag along with (I score shots for the team with my little clipboard) for sporting clays next spring. I am pretty excited about it even though I don't have much experience yet. I suppose I should start conditioning my shoulder by beating it with a baseball bat to prepare for the 'shotgun shoulder' I will inevitably get after shooting 50 rounds at a time, sometimes 100...Heh.

Dirtypacman · 09-16-2008, 10:31 AM

I shoot (not often enough) my Beretta Xtrema2 - its a sweet shooter.

Smokin Guns · 09-16-2008, 06:00 PM
