R.I.P.
Originally I wasn't planning on doing anything for planning, heading up, being in the limelight, or otherwise managing or coordinating any event for quite awhile, at least a year or two due to my emergency open heart surgery back in March and the lengthy recovery process thereafter.
But sometimes things don't go always as planned................
NYTransplant and I went to Carroll County Gun Club this past Sunday 12/13/15 to shoot some trap and we/our MDS group was invited back for CCGC's New Year's Day Fun Trap Shoot as we did last January 1st. If you were there in attendance, you know how much fun was had by all. IIRC, we had about 35 MDS'ers show up for the trap shoot. If you weren't there, all that were there would agree you really missed a good time. This is open to all shooters of all ages however minors MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY PARENT/RESPONSIBLE ADULT that's responsible for that minor during their presence at the club. All skill levels are included with this invite from 1st timers to advanced shotgunners just as it was last year. Noobs, yoots, and 1st timers that need direct coaching on the line can receive that from a parent/guardian or a person of choice that knows how to coach and teach the noob, especially a yoot, how to shoot trap with firearms safety at the forefront; remember, firearms safety is paramount!!!. We hadda'lotta' noobs out on the line last time and all enjoyed themselves.
This will occur at the Carroll County Gun Club January 1st, 2016 starting at 11:00 AM on the two lower far edge traps located beyond the club house/parking lot just like last time. The location is on RT 26 just east of RT 97 near Eldersburg at 129 W. Liberty Rd, Eldersburg, MD 21784 (I'll post up a link in this post for Carroll County Gun Club later and here it is--- www.carrollgun.com). One round of trap (25 birds) will cost $4.00, so if you intend to shoot 4 rounds of trap it will cost you $16.00 cash. This shoot is a cash only shoot. Ammo to be used will be no larger than 12 gauge 2 3/4" 3 drams equivalence with 7 1/2, 8, or 9 shot. Smaller gauge shotties are permitted such as 16, 20, 28, and .410. It is recommended that you bring your own ammo though there will be 12 gauge and IIRC, 20 gauge but don't mark my word on the 20 gauge, available at the club at $7.00 or $8.00 per box of 25 rounds. Minimum barrel length is 24" and a modified choke is recommended on larger gauge guns such as 12 gauge and full choke on smaller gauge guns such as .410. There will be some shotties available for use by MDS members if you don't have a shottie that fits the bill just like last year. There will also be a short safety briefing/range orientation as close to 11:00 AM as possible prior to shooting so it would be a good idea to be there at that time especially if you are not familiar with this sport or have noobs, 1st timers, or youn'uns (yoots) with you.
Bear in mind that this is a *** "Weather Permitting" *** shoot only and is subject to cancellation due to less than decent weather. Last New Year's Day was sunny with highs in the low 40's and was a pleasant day for a shoot. Let's hope the weather will hold out for us again this year and give us a nice day to break in the New Year.
I will be updating this post over the next day or two as time permits. If ya' already know you're in, it should be pretty much the same as last year, jus' put it in there and any +1's, +2's if so be.
*****Make sure you bring eye and ear protection*****
