After two years of Covid shutdown the Bray's Island Outdoor and Shooting Exposition will be once again held, next month, from Friday April 8 through Sunday April 10. I received an email containing the notification and description, this morning. 100 bird sporting clays shoots on Friday and Saturday, with the Saturday shoot being for S X Ss.

Do you need an invitation as a guest or can you just show up?

[Stan Hillis]

This is the latest information I have that addresses the above questions. I emailed and asked if the email notice I received constituted an invitation, and received this email.

"Stanton,

I’ll leave your name at the front gate. Hope you enjoy the Expo!

Best,

I will assume from this that, if you desire an invitation, email or call the above number. It's worth the effort, IMO.

[Jeffrey Ford]

Thanks Stan, I got the same initial email as you and was unclear if that was an invitation or not. I did send an email requesting they put me on the list. Thanks for your help

[Stan Hillis]

Look me up there if you make it Jeffrey. I'll be a tall, lanky guy with a white beard and driving an old fading camo Club Car.

[Mills Morrison]

We'll be making an appearance at the Bray's show tomorrow. Hope to see a few of you all there.

[Breck Gorman]

I went today. Exceptionally pretty course. Great targets. One of the best sporting clay venues in my experience.

[Stan Hillis]

It really is a pretty course, Breck. I'm looking forward to being there tomorrow, again, after a couple years absence.

Would have liked to have seen you there. Take care.

Best, Stan

[Mills Morrison]

I'll be there around lunchtime

[Stan Hillis]

Hope too see you again, Mills.

[Mills Morrison]

Same to you Stan!

Wish I could have made it. Dad said it was a good time.

[Stan Hillis]

It was well worth the trip. Wish you could have made it, John.

Very few S X S shooters, it seemed. I waited until after lunch for someone to shoot with, and ended up shooting the course alone, with the help of a microphone activated trap "puller". That's a shame. It's a beautiful sporting clays course.

[Ed Blake]

Dang Stan. I had to shoot Saturday by myself, although my wife served as trapper. Luckily I ran into Breck Gorman Friday and shot with him. Wish we could have connected. Not many shooters, but a lot a shoppers. Beautiful course.
