I question about Delmarva Sporting Clays

[Safetech]

I emailed them yesterday through their "Contact Us" page, but haven't gotten any response.

Mrs. Safetech and I went there with my B-I-L and his wife a couple years ago while we were down there on vacation. My first (and only) time. But he and his wife had been there quite a few times.

He told me that you "just shoot at any target". (This was on the rifle range.) This seemed odd to me. Any range I've ever been to, you shoot at YOUR target (in YOUR lane). But I was new there, and he'd been there before. So I took his word for it.

But the more I thought about it since then, it still just doesn't seem right. For one thing, if you have multiple people shooting at the same target, especially with similar calibers, how do you who's hitting it where???

I want to go there again this year while I'm down there. And I want to make sure I'm not being given incorrect information.

Can anyone here shed some light on this please?

You pick a target frame and just set up your target. You can also put clays on the berm and shoot those but you can't just go without anything and shoot random targets.

There are lanes with numbers like any other range. Don't shoot a target not yours.

The only exception I can think of, being the MDS group shoots, then there may be a communal target to fire on.

This year it was a tailgate with O'Malley painted on it.

Yea true.
I had to edit my post because there are no real lanes just designated targets.

 

[Echo]

In short, Yes.

When I was there the range officer will tell you which lane to set up your target on [depending on the berm you're shooting at]. Also there is space on the berm for things like clay, or [my fav- steel spinners from walmart] [just don't expect the spinners to last, as the legs get chewed up from near misses]

there's some confusing answers in this thread.


you don't just saunter up to the line and start blasting away at whatever's down range.

you talk to the other shooters, find out where they have their targets posted up, and pick a DIFFERENT backer to attach yours to, and shoot at that one.

you don't just shoot at whatever.....lest you risk pissing off the wrong person.


the benches at the firing line are not married to one single target position on a given berm, though.

It should have been a tailgate with O'Malley tied to it.

This is because one line serves 50, 100, 200 and 300 yard berms

And Frosh, and Miller, and Vallario...
