I have taken some heat here when I have talked about long range slug shooting. It has ranged from good natured ribbing to some strong inferences that I was outright lying. Here is a link to a video featuring Hickock45 placing slugs on a more or less man sized target at 230 yards...

Went out to one of my favorite clubs Sunday for some sporting clays. They have added a thrower to each station so now instead of 2 there are 3. The course of fire was something like 1-2 report, 1-2 report, 2-3 report, 1-3 report. Man this really changes the whole game. Sure was a lot of fun!

Started a new business. Lots of stuff to do. Finally got everything going along pretty well and went to Elm Fork for some sporting clays. Oooops. They were hosting the "Beretta Blast", and both sporting clays courses were closed. We got a skeet range and shot a couple of rounds of regular...

Just picked up a few flats of Winchester 12 ga. 2 3/4" 3 1/4 dr. eq., 1 oz. #8 and #7 1/2 for $39.90 per flat. Yes, these are the notorious 870 jammers, but my Beretta 390s have digested several thousands of them with nary a hiccup. My Browning Cynergy doesn't much care what you put in it...

A friend and I decided to try a round of sporting clays after work yesterday. I was pretty tired and at first wasn't into it, but after a little warm up on the skeet field I was ready to go. Beautiful day, in the high 70's with a nice breeze, and we were on the course by 5:30. I was...

A friend and I took Mike McAlpine's one day clinic Friday before last. Mike suggested some good practice routines for the Skeet range. Here's what we did. First, we shot a round of skeet starting on Station 1 as usual. However, whenever we missed, we had to shoot until we broke the missed...

A friend of mine, myself and one other person have signed up for this clinic by Mike McAlpine at Elm Fork on April 2, 2010. Problem is unless one more person signs up, Mike won't come, or will combine it with the second day, on the 3rd. I have not seen anyone say that this is not a very...

:eek: Went to Alpine to day. Had a couple of guys that shot a "triple" at station 8. Wow. Pretty cool. They faced the high house, while a double was thrown, they shot the high house first, then the low house and then the high house again. Since they were shooting autos and pumps, I had to...

I just listed one here: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=508938 I'm going to try it here for a week or so, and if it doesn't sell, its off to Gunbroker.

Well, do ya?...

I went to Elm Fork to shoot Saturday. Got there at about 8:50. Over on an empty field the Boy Scouts were raising the flag and conduction their opening ceremony. For the rest of the day, we saw about 80 or so Boy Scouts on the practice traps, on the trap range, on the skeet range on the 5...

My quandary in an earlier post: "What to do, What to do?", has been solved. I saw a post on another forum stating that Guns Unlimited had Browning Cynergys, Classic Sporting with 30" barrels and an adjustable cheek piece. for a very good price. I had shouldered and looked at a Cynergy at...

Ok, I have been lusting after a nice O/U for quite a while. I found a Beretta 686 Onyx, 26" barrels on Gunbroker for the bargain price of $875.00. The gun is in nice shape, locks up as tight as any new one, everything functions perfectly, has a couple of stock dings and a couple of areas of...

For the first time in my memory, the dove season was split here in the Northern Zone of Texas. Our lease runs until Feb. 1, so the first day of the 2nd half of the season is December 26, and we are going dove hunting. Dove season opens in September here, and that means it is usually hotter'n...

I have a buddy that I gave a quart of Ed's Red to about a year ago. He recently ran out. He has been asking me to make a gallon and split it with him and he would pay for the stuff to make it. While he likes the smell of Hoppe's, like most guys seem to, his wife really hates it. He say she...

Anybody know what size it takes?

I found a 686 Onyx for a really great price on Gunbroker, so I went for it. I was somewhat apprehensive since the price was almost too good, but I picked it up tonight and the thing is still stiff. Broke it down, cleaned it, lubed it, and generally gave the attention it deserved but apparently...

So, today I went to shoot sporting clays. I'm thinking of buying a Beretta O/U, so I rented one from the club. 686 White Onyx, 30" barrels, well used and pretty much neglected. Surface rust on the rib, the nice finish on the receiver was dark and dull from lots of hands carrying it. However...

Ok, I have always wanted a nice Over / Under, but had pretty much decided that I just wasn't going to part with that kind of money. I am a serious clays shooter, but don't shoot competitively. Those of you that follow these threads know I am a huge fan of the Beretta 390, but the O/U calls to...

I ordered a couple of flats of these from Ammunition To Go. Took a box out to the dove lease and fired off a few from my Beretta AL390. It threw the hulls about 6 feet or so. No cycle problems at all. Very pleasant to shoot. Anybody else tried these out? I will shoot a few boxes at the...
