So the good Doctor (who wasn't into classic doubles then) decided to have a shoot out on the Make a Break field but without using the #1 birds and with simos on the others. And I'm shooting a double trigger Fox and the two other gents had modern single trigger/high rib competition doubles. Yeah Mike, I'm not gonna forget that one either.

Hey, I was merely allowing your full/full choked Fox reach out and touch them. Besides, a double trigger is every bit as fast as a single flinch-o-matic trigger!!

Yeah, I really like that station too Dave. Mike, you are the master target setter.

Back in June I broke either 5 for 6 or 6 for 6 at the "Hell Hole". Mike may remember... he shot with me.

(this time I missed them all )

Okay guy's....so I'm a little slow on the uptake. What station are we calling the "hell hole"?

[Double Lab]

It's the station after you leave the high incomers and enter the woods to shoot the same targets through an opening, hence the term "Hell Hole". My term, not Mikes.

[Autumn Daze]

Okay got it. We shot that when we were there in June. I love that station!

Here are a few pictures I took before the battery in my camera went dead.


1. Rock Mountain SC as seen from the road down into the place.

2. The new pavilion where the vendors set up their displays and tables and with ample parking (this year ).

3. The equipment barn and at the far end of it is the luxurious clubhouse of some 40' X 40' or so.

4. Station 6 puts you on a cantilevered platform out over the canyon ('I think I'm gonna be sick' kind of feeling up there). Target 1 is a pop-up at about 40 yards at the closest and target 2 is a right-to-left screamin' crosser at the bottom of the canyon.

5. Station 6 again.

6. Station 6 looking down to the path of the crosser (urp...)

7. Station 8 had a blooper that slowly went up 15 feet and dropped 10 yards in front of you.... and a fast, low right to left crosser that you had to be pretty quick to break.

8. Station 11 was a pair of rabbits..... I've never seen bunnies hop so high... the one in the picture is on it's way down...
