Beautiful day for trap shoot!!

Post by DWD445 » Sat Oct 15, 2016 11:38 pm

Went back to shoot some trap again at backyard range. Did better this time (2nd ever) 4 rounds went 13-13-18-20 :D. Had one 5-5. Nice day and had a great time !! Some more pics of the range. To right of 4 wheeler and back is a 16" target, back in other pick at rest is 100 yards. H012S 1st shot missed, put front sight at top of Skinner peep and 4 hits of the 5 shots :mrgreen:
Behind ridge is a reservoir (private city land) trees looking pretty. VERY peaceful place.

I have to go to the AFB to shoot skeet/trap. The have a range near the end of the runway. We have to go cold range when a plane is taking off or landing. We are far enough from the runway that I don't think you could hit them with shot, but them's the rules. When I was flying as a loadmaster in the reserves, I remember looking out the window and see the guys shooting skeet towards the aircraft. Well, I don't think they were shooting at the time we were landing, but they were all standing there facing us with their shotguns in hand.

NO, it's not MY backyard, it's a few miles away in a friend's yard ;)
If it was in mine, all I'd ever do would be reloading and shooting :lol: :lol:

Either way it's nice to have that open space nearby. Looks like fun.

No doubt !! I'm very fortunate to have a close by place like this !! And Dude won't take a dime,
Just said " bring some clays next time !!
We went back to res. after shooting and set there and had a couple beers watching the fish jump.
Had a little breeze that day, but none in the valley where we shoot. :D
My shoulder was good w/the recoil pad this time !! :lol:
BTW the Henry stock front sight covered the 16" target completely at 100yd :D

So you were shooting 22LR at 100 yards at clays? I'm impressed.

I bought a box of clays (think I paid $16.99 for a box of 180 or so) and will bring them to the range when I go at the end of October. Planning on setting them up on the berm to pick them off at whatever distance I can manage! Not with a 22 though... I'll use my 357 and my scoped AR if necessary!
