5th Annual Fun Shoot

[Wallary]

It's that time of year again folks, It's time to pick a date for the 2010 CO-AR-15 Shooters Club 5th Annual Shot Gunners Fun Shoot! The event will be held at Colorado Clays Shooting Range http://www.coloradoclays.com/index.php and they’re open to the public and memberships are not required. CO. AR-15 Club Members, Family & Friends are all welcome to join us in a fun filled day of Sporting Clay Shooting. Don’t worry beginners and first time shooters will be mixed in with more experienced groups. Non- Shooter, Spectators, and Score keepers are welcome. Gun Club and Range Safety Rules Apply and will be posted at a later date. A variety of Clay Target Shooting is available Trap, Skeet & Sporting Clays. We prefer to shoot the Sporting Clay Course, (similar to golf where each group moves between stations 1 thru 15.) Scores are kept on a score sheet but, they are meaningless because we’re just shooting for fun. We’ll Shoot 2 (two) rounds sporting clays with a lunch break in the middle. You may choose to shoot only one round or stay for both. The first round starts about 9:30am – 10:00am with Lunch around Noon and the last round starts about 1:00pm and is described as the (Evil Black Shot Gun Round) but if you don’t have one don’t worry shoot whatever you got it’s okay. We usually plan it in May or June on a Saturday from 9:00am to 2:30pm or so. Please let us know if you would like to attend and how many. I’ll check with Colorado Clays and see what their event Calendar looks like so I can post a couple of dates to choose from. Majority rules on which day it will be held.

I definitely want to try and make it this year. Sundays are best for me due to kids sporting events on Saturdays.

I might be able to make it.

Mid April thru mid June blows for me.

so what are the differences between skeet, trap, and sporting clays?

[cowboykjohnson]

Can probably make this, I'll ask the GF, she wants to learn and we got her a shotgun... it's nicer than mine...

[cowboykjohnson]

so what are the differences between skeet, trap, and sporting clays?

Skeet has 2 houses that thrown high and low that you move around in a semi circle. very close fast shots.

Trap has 1 house that throws away from you and you only move 5 stations. More straight away shooting with further shots.

Sporting clays throws a mix of field condition type shots. Rabbits, minis, overhead shots, fast and slow, doubles. It is set up similar to a golf course for shotguns.

this is a very simple explanation it is a little more elaborate, but these are the basics.

Hey Hoser, Could you use your super special "Moderator" powers to put a sticky on the origanal thread and add it to the gen forums and maybe add a poll to determine the date? Something like .... Which day do you guys perfer Saturdays or Sundays? I can set it up for either day. Early April sounds good to me. Maybe April 4th (Sat) or April 5th (Sun) Or the following weakend April 10th (Sat) or 11th (Sun)?

Thanks
