He's been wanting to do this, but was worried he might embarrass himself. It's the whole myth about getting knocked down by a 12 gauge.
Any objections?
Some of you have already met him. He ran the traps for us one time while C-Dub's daughter kept score.
That's cool.
I have a 20 Ga Model 1100 standard wt w/IC choke.
A 20 Ga O/U and even a .410 O/U both are Skeet chokes. if you want I can bring one of them for your grandson.
At least it would give him a choice. He wants to shoot my Browning, but I think he's a little afraid of it.

Happy about the schedule, but sorry we'll miss you this time. If there is enough interest, we may do it again in April and try for a weekend.Beiruty wrote:I can't do Thursday, I am back to full time job.

You gentlemen are aware that DFW (indeed, most of North Texas) is looking at a high likelihood of freezing rain, sleet, and snow from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon, right?

Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism. Barry Goldwater

If they still go on Wednesday, maybe they should change it to the Elm Fork Sleet Shoot?jminn1 wrote:Anyone want to go skeet shooting on Saturday?

The plan is for Thursday and right now the forecast is for partly cloudy and a balmy 37° (or 44°, depending on which forecast you look at).

Re: Elm Fork Skeet Shoot
I'm seeing a sunny day around 40 degrees on Thursday. Not perfect, but good skeet weather.
