The club had been selling factory 12 and 20 gauge loads at $10 a box, other gauges if available were more. Sales were limited to what you were going to shoot, i.e. no stocking up and taking shells home. I will try to get over there a week or so ahead of the shoot and confirm what may be available.

PS. None of the shells being sold were low pressure and most 12ga loadings were 1 1/8 ounce, 20ga loadings were 7/8 ounce.

I should be able to be there and bring something for food. Glad to see it on again this year!

Saturday Morning 1/1/22 the club will open at 9AM on it's regular schedule for Trap and 5 stand. I will be there by 7:30 at the latest to warm up the shotgun shack and get things organized. I will open a Skeet field for our use but it may be the "Modern" Skeet field depending on which field the regular trap shooters will be using.

Ammo availability at the NYD shoot as follows:

I checked the safe at the club this morning and the club has ammo in 12g,16,20, 28 and 410. Prices and amounts are all over the place depending on how old the ammo is determined the price.

12ga Fiocchi and B&P 1 1/8 $13 and $12 respectively. Limited availability

16ga NSI 1 1/16 $8

20ga Federal Ultra and NSI 7/8 $10

28 NSI 3/4 $10

410 AA and NSI 1/2 $10

Would not hurt and better yet a power strip.

Now I have to figure out whether it is worth my while to drive to New Hampshire to get some of those $8.00 16 gauge shells.

Unfortunately you won't be able to stock up. Shells sales are limited to what you shoot that day.

Forecast for Baarington this coming Saturday is showing 70% chance of rain from 9 am to 5 pm. I'd like to keep my Parkers dry. Any thoughts on an alternate date?

I have been watching the forecast and hoping it would improve but it appears the day will be a washout. I feel the same away about keeping old doubles and myself dry. NYD has kind a been a traditional day for it especially when it falls on a weekday and we have the club to ourselves. IMO it's not ideal when we share the club with others on the weekend during normal shooting hours and I am not sure the shoot would have same "flavor" if held on a normal weekend day. Perhaps we could have a 4th of July shoot as the holiday falls on a Monday but the trip home could be a bear with traffic.

I would like to hear from others who were planning on attending what their thoughts are given the forecast.
