Any objections?

Some of you have already met him. He ran the traps for us one time while C-Dub's daughter kept score.
Paw Paw,
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.
If you could bring the 20ga O/U, that would be great! I have some Winchester AA #8 shot he can use.

At least it would give him a choice. He wants to shoot my Browning, but I think he's a little afraid of it. ;-)
I understand his apprehension. I'll bring the 20 ga O/U.

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.

If noon is still okay for everyone, then let's still do it. I'm still in.

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?

Anyone want to go skeet shooting on Saturday?

If they still go on Wednesday, maybe they should change it to the Elm Fork Sleet Shoot? :anamatedbanana

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).

I'm seeing a sunny day around 40 degrees on Thursday. Not perfect, but good skeet weather.

It could happen. We'll just have to wait and see.
