Default Bucket List

Was on the road recently for work and managed to sneak in a quick round of trap at one of my bucket list spots. The Nashville Gun Club!

Shot a 22 in a high wind, didn't feel like that was too bad for a half blind fat boy with a 100 year old shotgun.

No patches or pins for sale sadly, but I already had this vintage gem in reserve for the day I actually made it to the club. Now it moves from the "wanna go there" bag to the "been there" bag.

It was a flying trip with my boss in tow. He's a good sport but not a shooting man, a quick round of trap was all I could manage time wise. But I'd definitely love to come back!

I had the big 34 inch gun, it's what I usually shoot for trap.

Default Nashville

As John said several club members in Nashville area, open invitation to my farm to shoot. I am in Franklin Tn and have 5 stand , Wobble Trap , Crazy Quail and Make A Break. Even do a little shooting under the lights on hot summer evenings.

Scott, that’s a really nice setup. Is this on your private farm or is it open to members/the public?
