Default Tape- Schmape--

Whatever they used to weld on that tape- they needed some ballast- I saw two other squads shoot and twice the tape landed on top of the black plastic perimiter fence, tettered there a bit, then landed- now when I shot it on Sunday- the wind was from behind us and the 5 stands, so in a perfect world, it would have pushed the tape into the ring for a "killed"- but at the further perimeter up towards the sloping hill, the wind might have pushed it out of the fence and a "lost" call would ensue-

Paul, I'll be at your club on the 17th of July- wish you could get some live birds for a shoot as Chuck Connell used to- clays are OK, but I like to see a big ol cloud of feathers hangin' in the air as a dead and dying sky carper falls to the sod below-that's the real deal.

I have three sisters living in the Eastern Seaboard- In DE each fall they have the "Punkin' Chunkin' contest, don't have one in Massachussetts, they used to have a Witches dunkin' derby I heard near Salem, perhaps the Balloon shoot was a tamer way for them to have fun. I heard from a club member that the ballons were imported from a large ballon making company out East- Mass is the old abbreviation for the Bay State is it not-?? Now I suppose it is MA thanks to old man Zippy Code- so when I got the flyer and saw Mass balloon shoot, I figured it was a salute to our founding fathers from Plymouth Rock--or Bedford?? who knew??
