MCF&G Thursday Night Trap

[singlesix]

Shot size of 7 1/2 - 9. I would get target loads. Wal-Mart has target loads and Dicks has Gun Club target loads. I wouldn't use hunting loads due to the recoil; it's fine for few shots, but not for 25 shots per round.

Good trapshooting weather tonight!

You've seen the radar then?

You've seen the radar then?

Any weather is good Trap Shooting weather. We've shot in -10 degree weather. Warm Club, Hot Coffee, and Warm Pot Luck Food. What, you think we are pistol shooters?

Go stand in the corner.

17 braves souls tonight. 12 shooters and the rest came for food and conversation. Only thing that would have made it better - throwing white birds during the snow.

I guess the word got out. I sat at the top of the hill until about 5:30 last night and no one came. Thanks INGO. We will resume our more than a half century of Thursday Night Trap next Thursday, Feb. 10th. - Mark

We hope to be open. I assume the ICE will be gone. I will be checking next week of the Thawing ..

If you need help with the clean up, I'll volunteer. Just let me know.

Thanks, but I think by next Thursday the Ice will be gone. Looking for to some good shooting and food.

I am the stereotypical broke college student, and other than having earned the Shotgun merit badge, a little inform trap out of the bed of a pickup, and shooting a few rounds of sporting clays I have no experience whatsoever, and no gear to boot. I'm wanting to get into highpower matches, which will zap my tax refund and gun budget pretty completely, and I know the clay sports are pricey, but this really, really looks like a blast.

Is no gear and minimum know-how an issue?

No. You'll need shotgun shells (target loads shot size 7 or higher) and $4 per round (25 shots). We have loaner shotguns and most of the regular shooters don't mind letting you use their shotguns. Let me know when you are planning to come and I'll make sure we have a loaner ready.

We had a nice turn-out Thursday night. I guess cabin fever got to us all......

What type of shells do most people shoot for trap? I am interesting in coming once my work schedule slows down some.

12 gauge Target loads. 2 3/4 or 3 Dram, 1 1/8 oz. or 1 oz., #8 or #7 1/2. Most people shoot Federal Top Gun, Remington Gun Club, Winchester AA, Winchester Super Target, or any number of import shells like Centurian, Rio, etc. Hope to see you there. - Mark

Al is Jet Setting from somewhere WARM!

Thinking about heading up on Thursday evening this week. I have never been, and I am itching to bust some clays.

I declared March 1st (unofficially of course, as I am no-body) the first day of spring... Trying to trick my psyche. Well, it worked until March 4th...

Looking forward to meeting some new folks thursday night.
