Upcoming Sporting Clays shoot
Upcoming Sporting Clays shoot
This coming Saturday I will be competing (participating) in our labor union’s annual shoot. For years we shot trap but the Spokane Gun Club (the local trap range) shut down and is in the process of rebuilding at another location due to a school expansion. Last year was the first year of shooting Sporting Clays and man that was fun. I sucked big time at it but excelled at having a good time. Just when I was getting pretty good on the trap range.
Here’s the flier with the details and I’ll do a follow up on Sunday with how much fun I had missing targets.

Good luck and have fun.

Good luck Hatch, and yes it's a heck of a lot of fun.
I've shot a little of both trap and SC's, and
I prefer the sporting clay's.

Re: Upcoming Sporting Clays shoot
Had a great time yesterday at the Sporting Clays shoot. Scored about where I expected hitting 50 of 100 targets which I believe is slightly better than last year. Man some of those birds are fast. I didn’t get any shooting pictures but here are a few from lunch. Turn out was great and while I don’t know the total dollars raised yet I’m sure it’s in keeping with prior years.

Re: Upcoming Sporting Clays shoot
glad your shoot went well and you had a good time .... I thoroughly enjoy shooting trap .... I've shot Sporting Clays but simply don't enjoy it as much as I do trap

Re: Upcoming Sporting Clays shoot
I enjoy the sporting clays but I’m much better at trap. I need to get some practice in before next years shoot.

What did you do for work Mike? My business is quasi-aerospace related.
I’m going to head to our range (I just joined after the move) on Sunday morning to get my 7-08 dialed with the copper, and hopefully bump in to a few of the local border officers who apparently shoot trap every Sunday.
I’ll keep the 50% number in mind as a successful first attempt. I understand SC is likely tougher, but having done neither before, I’ll be curious how I do. I know I can knock birds down, but clays might be cagier
