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.... :eek:

Sir C O B
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. :whistle:

Mark

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:rotf: I'll bring a couple of 28's just in case he feels like cheating on his Sumo wrestler gun. Anyone have a 410??

Your obedient servant C.O.B.

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.... :biglaugh:

Here is what Rich needs to keep up with us big bore folks

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

I like the small bores, there cheaper to shoot:whistle:
