Jay is a modest guy…
He took Bev’s new .410 hammer gun and hammered the clays ! Great fun yesterday afternoon and some great pointers by Jay. The fun today at Peacedale starts in about an hour. Jay offered some 10ga black powder shells for my 10ga hammer. I just might give it a go. |

She is a natural Clark. I'm so disappointed not being able to make it this year. To everyone, have fun and safe travels.

Today was too much fun and flew by way too fast. Once again this was everything I hoped it would be…wonderful people, great shooting, lots of Parker talk and delicious food and some show tell. My son was able to join this shoot for the first time. That was a proud moment for me as well.
My wife cooked on the grill, I owe her one for that! Beverley and Clark once again made and brought the most amazing deserts. It is such a wonderful way to finish a morning of shooting. I think this always turns out so well because everyone contributes. From set up to packing vehicles everyone pitched in. Some amazing guns to be seen today too. There was a Damascus AAHE on the course. Beverly was doing very well with her hammer 410. A nice mix of small bore hammerless and big bore hammer guns. I shot a few different guns, but was settling into my “new to me” #286 back action lifter quite nicely especially with black powder shells. It was nice to see some familiar faces. Next year I hope to see more of you, I promise I will not schedule the shoot on Mothers Day! That was an honest mistake on my part and I look forward to finding a better day for this. I appreciate everyone that made today so special! Thank you and see you soon! Jay |

What started out as a gray day, became sunny and mild the moment we headed out to shoot, and shoot well. I affectionately refer to my little straight stocked 28" 28ga, as the red headed stepchild, but my little girl performed well into the 80% range, which only added to the great day. If there is a consolation to the relatively few numbers (15-16) of shooters, it's being able to bring home leftover dessert, and even calling it dessert seems inadequate. Meeting the McCombes was entirely my pleasure, despite missing Daryl's company.
Peacedale made sure all the machines were up to snuff, and nailing rabbits mid-air had each in our squad smiling, if not giggling. Christy manned the grill, and no one went away hungry. 'Show & Tell' made envy our sin and had me thinking 'maybe just one more'. For me, it was Larry taking every opportunity to tease me with the lovely 28ga DHE I missed by a scant ten minutes, though his 28/.410 Roberts sidelock was a distraction. The kind that sucks your breath from you. From a personal perspective, I remember how some of the best shoots started out small, and I only hope I live many more glorious years to see this one become a 'best shoot'. To those who have yet to join in, you simply missed out. It really is the place to be. |

Here is a good video of me shooting Parker #286 with black powder shells.

I was there at Peace Dale two years ago and dammit, if the creek don’t rise and the good Lord’s willing, I’m going to make it next time.
