A slight chance of sprinkles in the morning. High for the day around 56 with afternoon breezes up to 8 mph.

Sounds like a GO! to me.

Guy's I just picked up the shirts. They look great! The price this year will be the same as years past. $15.00 each. If possible please have exact change as it just make's things easier. See you boy's Saturday.

Also just talked with Jack at Addieville and we are confirmed for Saturday...Member's rate's for targets.

Hope the weather hold up for you guys. Have a great shoot!

Dean,
I took a look in the freezer last night and spotted some Smoked Kielbasa, Hamburg, and Hot Dogs. All with "Hidden Venison" of course.:)

Edgar, my sweet Italian sausages are made with the following ingredients: fennel, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, parsley, oregano and romano cheese. I added a small amount of red pepper flakes just to boost the flavor a bit. You can wash one of these down Edgar with a shot of the single malt I will bring along (after the shoot of course). I'll even throw in some suitable glass to drink it 'neat'.

Weather forecast for Mapleville, R.I. as of a minute ago shows: a high of 55 degrees and low of 36 degrees. A warming trend for sure. wind should not be a problem - my shooting will be terrible whether there's wind or not for sure!

Eric Eis - in response to your question re: my going to the Southern. It's a 12 hr ride from my home in Plymouth, Ma and although I've driven much farther and longer times in the past, I just don't feel like driving it alone and there's been no takers on a ride share so far so I will probably pass on it this year. Thanks for asking though.

Larry, those smoked sausage sticks you brought the last time were terrific and that jerkey! Any left or did we eat your stash?

Allen,
Those are gone for this season. A few more deer will have to make the ultimate sacrifice before we will have more.

ARGH!

That shouldn't present much of a problem... I hear Deb is pretty handy with a bow. :whistle:

Dave S., Larry F. Dean R. - I assume Addieville's grills are gas supplied and we don't have to bring our own gas, oops, .....I mean propane...

That's right Allen, but it never hurts to have a back-up.

Maybe a few of the gents will have some gas.......

Dean, I have a spare tank that's full and can throw it in the car.

They'll probably have lots of gas after dinner :whistle:

You got that right! LOL

Allen, I thought you had corrected yourself earlier on the "gas" issue... propane is the term you used. Methane is what we'll be producing after finishing off your sausages.

Weather forecast shows no change: 55 high/36 low.
Hourly temps for Saturday are as follows:
9 am-41*
10 am-43*
11 am-46*
12 pm-50*
1 pm-52*
2 pm-54*
3 pm-55*

Wind out of the WNW around 8 mph

That's considerably nicer than when we shot there in January.

Could be a near perfect day Dean. Except for the shooting of course, esp. mine! Looking forward to getting together with the gents and meeting spouses.

By the way, before I lug a full tank of propane down there, I will call Addieville today to inquire on their supply of propane for their grill(s).

Allen, Don't bother they will have plenty.Everything is all set. Just bring guns,shells and sausage.

Ok, thanks Dave. By the way everyone, the forecast for today in Mapleville shows rain. So the path around the course may be muddy/wet tomorrow. Footwear...

The day was cloudy and cool but a great time none the less. We had 20 shooters and a fantastic lunch. My camera died so we are waiting on picture from some of the guy's that attended. Come on boy's post 'em up.

Here are a few.

1) Dave smashing a high one.
2) Group photo with Allen Newell at bat.
3) Lil' Shay on an exercise break.
4) Nice portrait shot of Shay.
5) Debbie must have dropped an earring from the elevated shooting station :rolleyes:


.

A few more.

1) 5-Stand from the elevated 5-Stand platform.
2) Scott Kittredge standing with Bill Janelle and Dave.
3) Frank Cronin pulls for Deb Frey.
4) Bob Fabian still trying to hit #2......
5) As you can see the weather improved greatly in the afternoon. Pete pulls for all of us.



.

Everyone should keep in mind that this is where the 2013 Vintagers and PGCA Annual Meeting will be held... right here at Addieville East Farm in Mapleville Rhode Island. It is a great shooting venue with challenging sporting clays stations, 5-Stand and more. Robin Hollow Outfitters is on the grounds as well and Bill should be well stocked with all kinds of sporting eye candy and some of the nicest SXS guns you can see.

i had a great time until the 5 stand:crying:Oh and Chris Triavinski shot an OUTSTANDING score, good job Chris!!, thanks for the great food and company too , see you in pa in a few months, scott

Tell the truth, Allen. Who took the carrot cake home?

That was some good carrot cake!

You know Edgar, I was halfway home and realized that I didn't take a couple of pieces for Jean. I almost turned around but figured someone would have already taken what was left. Please tell your wife that she still holds the record for making the best carrot cake. It spiked my blood sugar, I can tell you that!!! But no regrets.

It was a fun time and my shooting actually improved dramatically over the January shoot. Maybe someday I'll be in the same league as you AND GEORGE! God only knows for sure.

You have no idea how difficult it was to leave it behind.

You have no idea how difficult it was for me not to turn around. I feel your pain.

Geez, It's wonderful! We just had a piece....:whistle:

It stands to reason You would be the guy who took it home. You steal shotshell boxes, right out of the back of my car.
I hope you eat the whole cake, get fat, pop you top button, and put your eye out from the ricochet.

Carrot Cake Suspect
 

Edgar, The shooter in this photo is the prime suspect involved in the mystery surrounding the missing carrot cake. :nono:

Figures!
Guy with the pickle in his hand;Co-conspirator

I think he shot blanks at this station but claimed all 6!

The guy with the pickle in his hand had nothing to do with it but I suspect the real carrot cake abductor was more likely to have been the shooter's son while the shooter simply turned a 'blind eye'.

Where is the weather report for today?:p
