Lapeer Michigan Side by Side shoot
 

This year we're going to a three day shoot - April 16,17, and18th. We have camping hook-ups, food, and a covered 5-stand this year. On Friday our main event will be 5-stand, and on Saturday it will be Sporting Clays with the steak dinner and awards. Sunday will be a fun day- maybe some BP event or duck towers. There's also skeet and trap. Dealers get free tables - we usually get around 75 shooters. For more info contact Paul Harm at harm@blclinks.net or 810-724-5582

I'll add a little to my first post. Skeet, trap, and 5-stand can be shot all three days - Sporting Clays only on Saturday and Sunday. The main event on Friday is 5-stand, that could also be shot on Saturday for the award. It is a re-entry event for the award. It will be given out on Saturday, after dinner, along with the other awards. Show tables for selling or showing off your guns are free. I'll be sending out notices to all who attended last year. Hope to see everyone again, and maybe some new faces. Paul

Count me in for Sat as usual. Should I bring your lifter? :p

My lifter ? Yes bring it even though I've spent the money I had for it. Maybe I'll be able to sell the G grade with two barrels to someone and have the money to buy the lifter. Come on out on Friday - the 5-stand will be lots of fun- and it's good rain or shine. Paul

Friday is out of the question as I won't get home from Grand Rapids untill about 3pm. Its too late to head for LaPeer then. I'll be there Sat am though.

You can still shoot the 5-stand on Sat. for the award. So I expect you to post high gun there even though you guys don't shoot the SC's seriously.

We don't shoot anything seriously:rotf: The recently adopted D grade hammer gun should work nicely for your five stand. I'll post the high score for having a good time buth thats the best I can promise.

We just got 3 more new Lincoln trap machines. So now I should have 9 machines on the 5-stand. Should be fun with only two or three birds thrown from any one machine.

Rich,

Since you will be selling a Parker should I bring your father's friend's GHE Skeet? It is quite a gun with a novel's worth of providence.

I was going to post the same statement, but didn't want to offend anyone. :bigbye:

Mark If it were mine I'd bring it:). I'll probably bring more guns than I;ll shoot but its better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have brought them.

Dave, I think that's all everyone is there for - a good time. I might shoot my Clabrough back action hammergun. Bought it at the Novi gun show. Well, it was a month latter but I had the guys name and number - Always wanted a back action lock, and a Jones under lever hammergun. For $400, what the hell. Got it in the mail and it was an 11ga. A loose 11ga - my 10 to 12 GuageMates fit with a little work. A little more work an it shoots just fine. A nice " back bored ' 12ga. Paul

Last year we had about 75 shooters at our April SxS shoot. This year we have a covered 5-Stand that should be very popular in event of rain. The 5-Stand has a handicap ramp for easy access and 8 traps for some challenging targets. We will also have an in the woods sporting clays course, skeet, trap, and wobble trap.

Below are a few photos of last year's shoot.
