    Not joking at all!

    My only shotgun does not have a long enough barrel...

    If you are serious about letting me borrow your youth model, that would be awesome! Been wanting to check out the Beretta one. :). I'll bring ammo.

    WalMart had some the other day for $19.94 /100

    Westmonster WM had it at $26.sumptin' a box so I got SNI two boxes of the right stuff she'll need.

    SNI, if ya' want, I'll pick up a coupla' 20 gauge 100 rd boxes at Wally World for ya'. That way you can be sure you have the "right stuff". :D

    I got it.

    That would be great by saving me the trip.

    I'll bring the cookies, but only if you promise to never mention the fact that I won't EVER outgrow a junior model AGAIN.

    SNI - not sure I will be able to make the trap shoot, but I am going to try my damndest. Have an appointment with a large oak tree at 9:00 in the morning on Sunday in Millersville. 04 Cummins and I have a start time of 9:00 and we are going to have the chainsaws running at 9:00. Hoping to get his and my truck filled to the brim before noon and then head to Carroll County to shoot some clays.

    On the off chance that I am late or cannot make it at all, I am going to drop off the two guns to you Saturday night and give you a quick tutorial on how to load and unload them. I'll PM you on Friday for your address or you can feel free to stop by my place.

    Edit to add: Here is the "patient": http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=160728

    According to FOX weather last night at 11:25 PM, it's going to be REALLY NICE this Sunday with a high of about 80 degrees. :D

    Why rely on yesterday's weather report when you can get up to the moment weather forecasting from noaa.gov. :)

    Er, it says sunny and 80 for Sunday :D

    Well last night's (09/24) indicated sunny and high of 78 degrees in Bloodymore; that means about 76 here. REAL NICE weather fo' chootin'.:D

    I'll see if I can borrow my bosses 870.

    Definitely try to borrow it but make sure it has at least a 28" barrel with modified or improved modified choke. If it has screw in Rem chokes, bring them too.

    Cookie production in full swing :)

    Fabs dropped off 2 shotguns, guess that means I'll be ready.

    Went to 2 stores today looking for a shooting vest. Geez, you guys are big! Anyway, I settled for a tool belt to hold the shells, hope all that cookie eating pays off in cushioning my shoulder.

    Bolts convinced me to go to PG trap and have a look soon.

    I'll play too! You can even use my 870 with 28" bbl and screw in chokes if you want Mopar.

    Fabs, if you make it bring and papers I need to sign to hire you. I have no problems mixing guns and business.

    Will do. I really hope I can make it, but if today is any indication of how tomorrow is going to go (i.e., anything that could go wrong, went wrong), I'll probably be done cutting and splitting two truckloads of wood just as the sun is setting. Then, I will be pissed the entire drive home that I didn't get to go shooting, and telling myself "Life is damn good."

    Don't you guys eat all the cookies either. Save me a couple. lol

    Thanks for the reminder Lou. I'll try to remember to grab the Pelican case with the cameras in it before leaving the house.

    Lou and Mopar shooting trap in HD video. It is going to be epic. Epic I tell you.

    Bolts I'm gonna need a shotgun vest. Preferably Weesquatch sized.

    I have an extra, but I don't think it will fit you since it is my wife's. Should have loaned that to SNI too. (Almost posted her first name by accident. Too damn tired.) Pretty sure it would fit her. If I make it up there tomorrow, I'll try to remember that too. Time to get the chainsaws and trap shooting stuff ready for tomorrow.

    We (SNI, Bolts Rock, NY Transplant, Mopar, and myself) had a really nice afternoon at CCGC chootin' trap and also chootin' da chit.:D Apparently Augie (another forum member here) was monitoring this thread and shoots there regularly, so unbeknownst to us he volunteered his services with the club ahead of time to be there and escort/show us the ropes and be our mentor for the day. Thanks Augie for your time and help from all of us, we really enjoyed ourselves and had a wonderful time.:):thumbsup:

    We will definitely be back for more in the not distant future.:D

    +1 on everything Lou said.

    Plus an extra thanks to Fabs for lending me his junior shotgun - that naturally Lou had to mention I would never outgrow... which then promoted a serious loss in his take-home cookie count :D

    Yeppers on everything Lou and SNI said. And SNI notice how some of use didn't make any short jokes today? Which should increase said persons cookie count.

    And Bolts thanks again dude for the Weesquatch sized shotgun vest.
