Prescott: A trip to the Trap Club

[erin]

Jonathan, have you ever shot at the Piccacho club? It has a 5 station along with sporting clays.

Nice, thought i was on EE for a second there.

that thread has got me thinking i need to start shotgunning but i dont know of any sporting clays near me so if anyone in SLC wants to go and knows a place give me shout.

[grouch]

I'm jealous. The only public sporting clays course in Dallas is currently under water, and with no end in sight for the rain, we have no idea when we'll be able to shoot clays again. I'm now looking to make a short trip out of town to get some shooting in.

Nice SxS.

Cheers,

TD

Have you been to Alpine in Ft. Worth?

Nice, thought I was on EE for a second there.

If this were EE we would have made sure the Rolex showed up better.

What Scott diplomatically failed to mention was that he outshot me. I edged him by one the first round, but he trounced me the second. We'll have to see what happens when real birds are the targets . . .

Erin, where is the Picacho Club? I know there's a range out on Ajo west of Tucson.

The Model 12 was American gunmaking at its best: nothing fancy, just a reliable gun you can shoot forever. The 12 was also the most elegant pump ever made, I think.

. . . and I don't abuse my cell phone on purpose.

Very often. . .


But it's true: I wouldn't even own one if it weren't the only phone that works where we live. One thing's for sure: You'll never catch me with one of those little Borg ear-implant phones. Creepy.

You haven't witnessed true cell-phone lunacy until you've watched Scott check email on his Blackberry while prerunning the Baja 500.

So where's your antique Rolex, Jonathan?

I also thought everyone read their CrackBerry while driving?

yeah i wasnt going to bring that up.... but pics 3 and 4 should have focused on that a bit more.

No doubt the 12 is a sweet gun, but the Ithaca Model 37 (especially in 16 gauge) rivals the Winchester in elegance. But then, that was my Grandmother's gun and now it's my daughter's so I'm biased.

I own alot of shotguns; new and old; pump, auto and single shot. But my favorites are the doubles especially early Remingtons, Parkers and Foxes. The one I reach for most though, usually without thinking about it, is my Beretta Silverhawk.

Do you guys have this problem? I've wingshot with a double all my life and when I hunt or bust clays with a single I have a tendency to let my line of sight fall down the side of the barrel and have to get back into the rythm of shooting a single stick again.

So where's your antique Rolex, Jonathan?

Mine's barely 20 years old, but check out Roseann's:



1938!
