Some of the “Off A Lot” crew made their way to Seaway this past Saturday. Stacie, Don, Darris, Char, Ted, Nick and myself made a day of shooting Sporting Clays and 5-stand as well as Wobble Trap and Regular Trap.
Darris (our newest member) was king on the Clays course, with Ted nipping at his heels. Both shot extremely well. This was Darris’ maiden voyage into Sporting Clays and like all other clay games, he was superb. Well done both of you.
Now what really was cool to watch was Char shooting 5-stand. Let me tell you, Annie Oakley has nothing on her. Char is the queen of 5-stand. Her scores were extraordinary and watching her left me in total awe. Another high 5 is in order.
A special thanks to Mike for the great hospitality Seaway showed us. Shotgun Sports is a brotherhood with Mike leading the way.
A handful of the “Off A Lot” crew made their way to Seaway today and shot Sporting Clays, along with a line of trap.
Stephanie, Ted, Jack and Ben made the trip and to say they had a tremendous time would be an understatement. Ted was top dog among the troops, shooting a 26 in Sporting Clays. He has now been designated the Sporting Clays Captain of “Off A Lot”
The weather was very pleasant and waited until the shooting was over before it got windy. Ben shot his first round of Sporting Clays and left Seaway with a grin from ear to ear.
A very special thanks to Mike D. and the other gentlemen at Seaway, for their generous hospitality. The “Off A Lot” crew was able to shoot at member prices and got a free soda pop and peanuts to boot. It was the kind of day that you live for.
When I found out this week that none of our regular shooters, aside from Jack and myself, would be able to attend the monthly sporting clays shoot at Seaway this Saturday I invited a few new folks up and they took me up on the offer!
Nick, Ted, and Ted’s girlfriend Stephanie, came out with out us this morning and shot a 50 round game of sporting clays. We had a blast! Nick managed a 19 on this outing with a 20 gauge Benelli Nova, Ted came away with a 17 using his Mossberg 535, and Stephanie scored 9 using my Hugly SxS 20 gauge and Nick’s Benelli. The Huglu fit her better but on the first report pair that came out the gun doubled so she switched over to Nick’s Nova for the rest of the course.
I’ll leave it up to Jack to post his score but I was right down there with Stephanie today only squeaking out a 9 myself. Seems there’s an awful good reason you don’t see people out there shooting sporting clays with 12 gauge 20″ cylinder bore coach guns. It was fun to try it but I don’t think I’ll be repeating that mistake again!
