3rd Annual MDS New Years Day Trap day at CCGC-UPDATED

UPDATED INFO IN POST #24--WE ARE GOOD TO GO!!

In the absence of Lou45, I have spoken to the powers that be at Carroll County Gun Club and arranged our personal ranges for New Year's Day to continue this event for us here at Maryland Shooters.

The deal will be the same, starting at 9:00am until we're done. (We can fine tune the time, I think in the past we started our private shoot at 11) $4 per person per round. Bring your own shells or buy from the club.

New and experienced, all MDS'ers and family are welcome.

I am gauging interest now, so please RSVP here asap so I can let them know for sure.

I can post more details in the future, and please ask questions if you have them.

Help me continue this event that has been so much fun for our MDS family.

As far as I know, I can be there.

Thanks for taking up the ball and running with it Raineman!

Any restrictions on calibers ? What is the maxim range?

If we started later, I could come after church.

Caliper measurement should match the gauge stamped on the shotty.

Maxim range will be behind the clubhouse, but only if it's not too cold.

But seriously... Per the title in the OP this is a Trap range, so come ready to bust some clays!!!

Good on Raineman for doing this. It's a fitting tribute to Lou.

Pencil us in, but once again I doubt I'll get the wife to shoot. I'm also (as always) willing to help out noobs or the skittish.

I am usually a grammar nazi, but I'll abstain.

To answer what I think your question is, this is from CCGC website:

"Bar none, safety is our primary goal. For your safety and the safety of others, please respect and observe our Range Rules below:

1. Eye and Ear protection is required (i.e. mandatory).
2. No loads over 3 Drams (# DE) or 1250 fps.
3. No loads containing more than 1 1/8 ounces of lead shot.
4. No lead shot size larger than #7.5 - shot size #6 or larger are prohibited.
5. All uncased guns must be open and unloaded at all times.
6. All guns must be pointed down range at all times.
7. Guns can only be loaded when shooter is set on their shooting position on the Trap field.

No Rifles and/or Pistols Permitted!"

The event only starts in the morning, I'm sure there will still be plenty of people there when you stop by after church.

I'll try to make it. Haven't busted the little circle thingies in a while.

DC-W · Dec 17, 2016

It's truly amazing that a year has come and gone so fast.

Good. I'll try to make it then. It will be good to meet some of you. I'll be the one out there dressed up like an Eskimo.

Hope to make it again

Sounds like a great day to spend with my Kids! Plus I want to see if my daughter can bust them better then me. Baring a rainy day count me for 3.

DC-W · Dec 17, 2016

Aw man. Looked at last year's thread and found this:

"The first round I shot an 8, the second a 7, then it all went to shit after that." Thanks DC-W for the quote of the day and will prolly stick around for some time to come.

I'll see if I can keep it all from going to shit in his honor.

ironcity · Dec 18, 2016

I will try to make it. Haven't shot trap in awhile.

Mr H · Dec 21, 2016

bumperup...

No real window on the weather yet, though.

Raineman · Dec 22, 2016

Looks like (if my math is correct & with my crew) we have about 7 definite and 10 possible.

I am going to wait until after Christmas to get back in touch with them with the interest level. Not sure if our numbers so far will have them committing to a range(s) for us, so hopefully everyone can do some more "recruiting" and we can get some more folks.

My son-in-law has invited a couple non-MDS'ers and I told them maybe if they attend, they'll join the site. (??)

Anyway...pass the word so we can hopefully get some more folks.

BigCity · Dec 22, 2016

My son says he wants to come too.

NY Transplant · Dec 22, 2016

I will try to make it as long as the weather cooperates.

This is a given as far as I am concerned, and something we'll monitor as we get closer.

I can deal with the cold, but if it is raining, I'm out for shooting, especially since I will be using my buddy's nice trap guns, ain't gettin' them soaked. If folks want to tough out rain, I'll come as an observer and to deal with the range/club guys.
