anyone live close to it?
what a great place and nice skeet range.
the locals were all there bragging about their 5/8oz 12ga loads and how doubles improves there skeet game...blahh blahhh. i squaded up with them and introduced myself. like most places that dont know you, they sorta set up a 20 foot buffer zone like you have aids or something. well, after they started dropping birds on sta 1, and when by sta 4 they missed at least 4 already...they all hushed their jabber when i shot. no one went straight except guess who? and by the second straight game, well...they all accpeted me.
funny world.
going to new ranges is fun. the game itself isnt the big challenge, breaking ice is. [^]
my old trusty winchester M50 skeet gun did its task once again, as it has for 53 years. what a great gun. everyone should have one.[;)]
and now...im recognized by the locals as one of the guys. that was the trophy in itself.
if you drive thru near the delmem-bridge on I-95, take time and stop in. rifle and pistol ranges are there as well.

I left in 96 when the last of my buddies was shot for a bottle of beer. Can't say I miss a thing about it.

you can have that f'in city. i dont go there unless i have to. my "hood" is just like the city now. i pack a heater even when i'm out with the dog.
Makes it much more challenging.

Not sure what the point of skeet is. I mean, you know exactly where and when the birds will be flying and the ranges are always identical. Anyone who does poorly on the skeet range after a few rounds should consider taking up knitting or something that takes no hand eye coordination. Trap isn't much better except for that brief instant when you don't know where the bird will fly. Sporting Clays is the wingshooters' sport. Many variables to contend with on every shot. Almost like real hunting.
