How about red or maroon this time?

[Dave Suponski]

Thanks Dean, I think we did maroon last year.

Funny that you should say that.........:whistle: Just kidding...:)

[scott kittredge]

Less than a week to go. Let's pray for good weather....

yes, we have more than enough bad.:cuss: see you sat., scott

[allen newell]

should be good grilling weather

[Dean Romig]

Allen, we've been doing this for eight years... Grilling is a given.

[allen newell]

Thank you Dean

[Dean Romig]

Generally we each bring one item we can share with several. Nobody is expected to feed the masses. We'll all keep in touch regarding what we're bringing so that twelve people don't bring hot-dogs and nobody brings the rolls. :whistle:

[allen newell]

As of today, the weather forecast for Addieville on Saturday April 13 shows mostly sunny & breezy with a 53 degree high/32 degree low for the day. :bigbye:

[allen newell]

Weather update for Saturday's PGCA Fun Shoot at Addieville Farms East is as follows:

Partly Sunny & Windy 55 degree high/31 degree low for the day :bigbye:

[Dean Romig]

So probably 45 - 55 while we're shooting and later grilling. Not so bad and the breezes should make for challenging target presentations. It should be a very good day.

[Frank Cronin]

I'm in! I was able to make some moves for work.... See you all there.

[scott kittredge]

I'm in! I was able to make some moves for work.... See you all there.

thats Great!! work sucks

[allen newell]

Saturday: high of 54 degrees, low of 34 degrees. Wind: WNW @ 12 mph with gusts up to 21 mph.

slight warming trend which should continue

Dave, could you tells us the cost of the shoot and what chokes you would use on this coarse? thanks scott

[allen newell]

Scott, I believe we paid $50 for one round on the course (100 clays). 7 1/2's, 8's nothing heavier.

a 100 targets, wow don't know if i will last for a 100,:shock: scott

[allen newell]

bring some bottled water, you'll be outside for a few hours. You can do it Scott. Everyone takes their time and it's paced out well. It's fun and good company.

[Larry Frey]

Scott,
They usually give use member rates which I believe to be $35.00 per 100 targets. If you don't reload the shells can almost cost more than the targets.:rolleyes:

[allen newell]

Good deal and you can spend the savings at Robin Hollow!

[allen newell]

Weather is holding around 55/36 for Saturday's outing. It will be a comfortable day on the course

Here is Addieville's web address: http://www.addieville.com/

[Dean Romig]

Just a quick reminder in case anyone was wondering... There are no food vendors at Addieville. Some of us are bringing some extra food to share but if you have a special preference you should bring it and maybe bring enough to share as well. But don't go overboard... If you bring too much it will probably be wasted.

[allen newell]

Just to add to what Dean has said above: For all those sausage lovers out there, I made and will bring approx 5 lbs of semi-sweet Italian sausages with fresh rolls and peppers and onions for topping. 5 lbs yielded about 13 large links. Anything left over cna be taken home so there will be no waste (my daughters have already laid claim to any left over). These are all pork sausage - no hidden venison ground in. They are good.

Allen,
You going to the Southern, those sausages sound damn good......!

[edgarspencer]

I made and will bring approx 5 lbs of semi-sweet Italian sausages

So are they pseudo sweet? What's the latest on the weather?

[Dean Romig]

Maybe Larry will bring the sausages with the "hidden venison" ground in.... like 100% "hidden venison" :rolleyes:

[Dean Romig]

A slight chance of sprinkles in the morning. High for the day around 56 with afternoon breezes up to 8 mph.

Sounds like a GO! to me.

[Dave Suponski]

Guy's I just picked up the shirts. They look great! The price this year will be the same as years past. $15.00 each. If possible please have exact change as it just make's things easier. See you boy's Saturday.

Also just talked with Jack at Addieville and we are confirmed for Saturday...Member's rate's for targets.

[Chuck Bishop]

Hope the weather hold up for you guys. Have a great shoot!

[Larry Frey]

Maybe Larry will bring the sausages with the "hidden venison" ground in.... like 100% "hidden venison" :rolleyes:

Dean,
I took a look in the freezer last night and spotted some Smoked Kielbasa, Hamburg, and Hot Dogs. All with "Hidden Venison" of course.:)

[allen newell]

Edgar, my sweet Italian sausages are made with the following ingredients: fennel, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, parsley, oregano and romano cheese. I added a small amount of red pepper flakes just to boost the flavor a bit. You can wash one of these down Edgar with a shot of the single malt I will bring along (after the shoot of course). I'll even throw in some suitable glass to drink it 'neat'.

Weather forecast for Mapleville, R.I. as of a minute ago shows: a high of 55 degrees and low of 36 degrees. A warming trend for sure. wind should not be a problem - my shooting will be terrible whether there's wind or not for sure!

Eric Eis - in response to your question re: my going to the Southern. It's a 12 hr ride from my home in Plymouth, Ma and although I've driven much farther and longer times in the past, I just don't feel like driving it alone and there's been no takers on a ride share so far so I will probably pass on it this year. Thanks for asking though.

[allen newell]

Larry, those smoked sausage sticks you brought the last time were terrific and that jerkey! Any left or did we eat your stash?

[Larry Frey]

Allen,
Those are gone for this season. A few more deer will have to make the ultimate sacrifice before we will have more.

[allen newell]

ARGH!

[Dean Romig]

A few more deer will have to make the ultimate sacrifice before we will have more.


That shouldn't present much of a problem... I hear Deb is pretty handy with a bow. :whistle:

[allen newell]

Dave S., Larry F. Dean R. - I assume Addieville's grills are gas supplied and we don't have to bring our own gas, oops, .....I mean propane...

[Dean Romig]

That's right Allen, but it never hurts to have a back-up.

[allen newell]

Maybe a few of the gents will have some gas.......

Dean, I have a spare tank that's full and can throw it in the car.

[John Dallas]

They'll probably have lots of gas after dinner :whistle:

[allen newell]

You got that right! LOL

[Dean Romig]

Allen, I thought you had corrected yourself earlier on the "gas" issue... propane is the term you used. Methane is what we'll be producing after finishing off your sausages.

[allen newell]

Weather forecast shows no change: 55 high/36 low.
Hourly temps for Saturday are as follows:
9 am-41*
10 am-43*
11 am-46*
12 pm-50*
1 pm-52*
2 pm-54*
3 pm-55*

Wind out of the WNW around 8 mph

[Dean Romig]

That's considerably nicer than when we shot there in January.

[allen newell]

Could be a near perfect day Dean. Except for the shooting of course, esp. mine! Looking forward to getting together with the gents and meeting spouses.

By the way, before I lug a full tank of propane down there, I will call Addieville today to inquire on their supply of propane for their grill(s).

[Dave Suponski]

Allen, Don't bother they will have plenty.Everything is all set. Just bring guns,shells and sausage.

[allen newell]

Ok, thanks Dave. By the way everyone, the forecast for today in Mapleville shows rain. So the path around the course may be muddy/wet tomorrow. Footwear...

[Dave Suponski]

The day was cloudy and cool but a great time none the less. We had 20 shooters and a fantastic lunch. My camera died so we are waiting on picture from some of the guy's that attended. Come on boy's post 'em up.

[Dean Romig]

Here are a few.

1) Dave smashing a high one.
2) Group photo with Allen Newell at bat.
3) Lil' Shay on an exercise break.
4) Nice portrait shot of Shay.
5) Debbie must have dropped an earring from the elevated shooting station :rolleyes:


.

[Dean Romig]

A few more.

1) 5-Stand from the elevated 5-Stand platform.
2) Scott Kittredge standing with Bill Janelle and Dave.
3) Frank Cronin pulls for Deb Frey.
4) Bob Fabian still trying to hit #2......
5) As you can see the weather improved greatly in the afternoon. Pete pulls for all of us.

[Dean Romig]

Everyone should keep in mind that this is where the 2013 Vintagers and PGCA Annual Meeting will be held... right here at Addieville East Farm in Mapleville Rhode Island. It is a great shooting venue with challenging sporting clays stations, 5-Stand and more. Robin Hollow Outfitters is on the grounds as well and Bill should be well stocked with all kinds of sporting eye candy and some of the nicest SXS guns you can see.

[scott kittredge]

i had a great time until the 5 stand:crying:Oh and Chris Triavinski shot an OUTSTANDING score, good job Chris!!, thanks for the great food and company too , see you in pa in a few months, scott

More Pictures from Addieville 13' Fun Shoot

[allen newell]

more pics

[allen newell]

still more

[edgarspencer]

Tell the truth, Allen. Who took the carrot cake home?

[Dean Romig]

That was some good carrot cake!

[allen newell]

You know Edgar, I was halfway home and realized that I didn't take a couple of pieces for Jean. I almost turned around but figured someone would have already taken what was left. Please tell your wife that she still holds the record for making the best carrot cake. It spiked my blood sugar, I can tell you that!!! But no regrets.

It was a fun time and my shooting actually improved dramatically over the January shoot. Maybe someday I'll be in the same league as you AND GEORGE! God only knows for sure.

[edgarspencer]

You have no idea how difficult it was to leave it behind.

[allen newell]

You have no idea how difficult it was for me not to turn around. I feel your pain.

[Dave Suponski]

Geez, It's wonderful! We just had a piece....:whistle:

[edgarspencer]

Geez, It's wonderful! We just had a piece....:whistle:
It stands to reason You would be the guy who took it home. You steal shotshell boxes, right out of the back of my car.
I hope you eat the whole cake, get fat, pop you top button, and put your eye out from the ricochet.

[allen newell]

Edgar, The shooter in this photo is the prime suspect involved in the mystery surrounding the missing carrot cake. :nono:

Figures!
That was some good carrot cake!
Guy with the pickle in his hand;Co-conspirator

[allen newell]

I think he shot blanks at this station but claimed all 6!

[Dean Romig]

The guy with the pickle in his hand had nothing to do with it but I suspect the real carrot cake abductor was more likely to have been the shooter's son while the shooter simply turned a 'blind eye'.

[Chuck Bishop]

Where is the weather report for today?:p

[allen newell]

For Harrisburg, Pa. today It's a high of 64 degrees and low 54 degrees.

[Chuck Bishop]

Time to get the lawn mower out of hibernation!
