A Southern Side Trip

[Harold Pickens]

A little sidetrack--one of the courses i like to shoot has a "small bore" course. It is 50 targets laid out in a semicircle. You can shoot it with 1 gun, then are back to your car and can grab a different gun, and go again, etc. Its a great way to shoot a bunch of guns in one day. Also has a 5 stand, and a pyramid/wobble trap. Makes it easy to shoot 4 different guns in an afternoon. Wish more courses were like this--Briar Rabbit in Zanesville, Oh.
Something tells me Mark would not have any trouble shooting those smallbores. Just wrap a little lead tape around the barrels to slow them down a bit.

Wow.. This thread could be its own forum

Let me get off my lazy butt - and move it to the correct forum... I'll leave a redirect in this forum for a while...

Hang tight - this thread is going for a ride....

I would humbly suggest you institute a handicap system to your hammergun event. Maybe - 2 for 10ga, + 2 for 16ga + 4 for 20 ga and + 10 for 28ga(me
Marks 10 against my 28 is blantly unfair!!

David,

Unfair? What about those "in your face targets" that I whack with Big Friend Ten or it's safe mates?

How about this, we both shoot our own guns then trade and shoot the other's gun. Don't tell anyone but I might be able to shoot a grouse gun almost as well as those pack howitzers that I prefer.

I bet Mark doesnt load much more than a light 12ga load in those 10's. Heck, most of us are now shooting 28 ga loads(3/4oz) in our 12's, 16's, and 20's. I use that as my excuse for poor shooting.

Dave i like the idea of the handicap. We can let Mark take only one shot per target with his big ten then deduct points if he has to shoot again I'll bring a couple of 28's just in case he feels like cheating on his Sumo wrestler gun. Anyone have a 410??

You boys complaining about my big 10's have never shot one for a round of sporting clays. Trust me, it's a whole new adventure!


Of course if you are game I might have a few extra 10's to let you shoot....

I met Tom Knapp when I was at Cabelas, he was a very nice man.

I like the small bores, there cheaper to shoot
