O first went to that club for the LC Smith Turkey Shoot maybe in 2021 I think and it was pretty good . But then the guy that had it when it went out of buisness perhaps bit off more than he could chew . There “was” a boxbird ring on another part of the property run by another fellow . His boxbird events were typically very good , but when they pulled the rug out from under Warrington they did away with the pigeon ring as well .

The learing curve on loading the Big 8 is somewhat steep at first just because the process is so different. From swaging the industrial ring off the brass to fine tuning your stack height. I’ve loaded two 50 cal ammo cans for next week and I hope I have enough.

According to the young Polish lad there’s only fifty on the course and thirty on the five stand he says there are not two seperate events on the five stand as it first seemed . You figure twenty extra shells for full use of the gun so 100 shells should cover both .

Well, if Ed and I ever team up as co-owners of the two ranges, maybe we will name them Rock River North and Rock River South. Just sayin.
Who’s Ed ?

Ed, isn’t it amazing how quick a .50 cal can fills up with 8g shells?
