Just went for my swim. The silence is deafening here this morning. The lake surface is like glass and my only company is a few loons and a pod of largemouth bass cruising by. It's a "great day in the morning" already.

The 2016 NH Boyz Scarborough Fun shoot is in the books and we all had a fantastic time.
The weather couldn't be any nicer. It was sunny & HOT but the majority of the shooting stations on the course is protected with shade. Out of the sixteen shooting stations, just four were in the sun. The shade and an occasional following cool breeze throughout the day brought some nice relief from the hot rays of the sun. I have to hand it to the people at the Scarborough Fish and Game. This is a really nice course to shoot. You can't beat the price for a 100 targets for $37 bucks. No misfires, broken machines, dead batteries, broken callers... everything WORKED unlike a place called Haus_ _ _ _ _...... Sixteen total stations and nice variety of different target presentations at each station. As you will see in the pictures they are pretty creative in making things interesting. High tower shots, incoming and over the head outgoing shots, clays bouncing off trampolines, and some contraption that I'm not sure what it is called but I guess it's a rabbit trap over head 25 feet and what looks like an upside down toboggan. This was a report pair and the first clay flew down and the second shot was an teal shot. Attendies this year were Scott Kittredge, Billy Janelle, Pete Lester, Dean Romig, Bob Weeman, Allan McLane, Erick Dorr, and special guest from Upstate NY Craig Larter. Event coordinator was Frank Cronin But the big story of the day is Billy Janelle who came from out of no where and took HIGH GUN for the day. The NY Boyz and myself may take things a little seriously sometimes whether it's shooting skeet, trap, sporting clays, and even in the field. But in the end we just like to bust each other's chops and have a good time. That's what it's all about. Billy began the day a little "off" but he was LIGHTS OUT at the end. Congrats Bill! Afterwards we ate at Portland Pie Company and checked out Cabella's. We mostly browsed and handled a few guns but none found a new home in NH, MA, VT, or NY. Everyone likes to see pictures so here's a few from the day. |

Had a great time with some good guys. Weather couldn't have been better. Thanks for the photo memories. To add to my list of things to remember when at the line I need to add, "Keep your mouth closed."

Great weather and a great time, a very nice course, 16 stations with varied and somewhat unusual target presentations that included a simo pair both hitting trampolines before you could take a shot. A rabbit that rolled behind a suspended curtain hitting an upside down toboggan and diving straight down to the ground. Great food and beer at Portland Pies followed by shopping trip to Cabelas. Good luck at the decoy auction today Craig!
Did anyone else notice the giant garden cart Bob Weeman is pushing, this is what you use when you take your entire gun collection out on the course lol. ......and now for the rest of the story. Scott listening intently to Bill's advice on how to shoot better and improve his score. (PS. Frank, Bill did not come out of nowhere, he merely ended a 40 year slump lol). Honorary membership as a NH Boy only gets Frank just so far.
