New Years Day Shoot - Barrington NH, Any Interest?

J.B. Books · 12-11-2009, 11:52 AM

Last New Years Day an informal Parker shotgun shoot was held at Major Waldron's Sportsman's Association. The weather was brutally cold and windy. Trap and Skeet targets were very tough but we still had fun. We had a good turnout close to 50 shotguns and at least 20 Parker owners present. I think everyone who came had a good time. We can have access to the club facilities again this New Years Day if we want to get together again. Whose interested in coming?

Pete,
I'm interested in joining. As a "newbie" this will be my first yet unofficial PGCA event. What time do the festivities start and aside from a favorite Parker and ammo, what else is required?

Jim, we'll probably do it as we did last year only this time maybe it will be warmer and less windy. Conditions last year were just slightly better than the north pole. Everyone that wanted to got to shoot at least 2 rounds of trap and 2 rounds of skeet. The club non-member rates are $4.50 per round. We threw in some extra money and the high overall score got a little purse. We brought all the clubs gun racks into the shotgun house and put everyone's guns on display. Some of the attendees brought hot food that most welcome and we can set up a coffee maker. The shotgun house is essentially a two car garage and it was a little tight but we made do. I think we started shooting around 9AM and everyone quit around 3ish. So bring a gun to shoot trap, a gun to shoot skeet, enough shells for at least 4 rounds, warm clothing, eye and ear protection, shell bag and a little bit of money.

Jim, hope to see you in sunny NH. The only thing you could bring is a dish for lunch. I'm going to bring some venison and my wife if I behave will make a batch of stuffed mushrooms.

Don't forget a hat, it could get ugly!
