    They were doing a lot of "cleaning up" from the others who let thinmgs run to loose. APG rules state they need 2 ROs on the skeet range and 1 for trap. That wasn't happening before hense the changes. They lookerd the machine over when we were done and found it droping the birfs to earily and sliding out away fron the throwing arm causing it to hit the bird and not slinging it. They did appogize many times about not being able to open the trap range before you arrived. They are remaking the schedule so that 3 ros will be there opefully next week. Cedars is close for me, but I like the lack of crouds at APG. The ROs loosened up after we were donr and seamed very reasonable. When the trap machine gets repaired I say give it another try. Remember you wern,t there. At 6:00 and we shot a. Round of skeet before we went to shoot trap then with the machine not throwing it was aggrivating but we were late because only two of us were there on time. They will have a RO at the trap range, throe and keep scorewhen they get up and running again. If they can't accomidate us then, hell ya, go elsewhere!sorry for typos, I hate blackberrys. I think its my turn. Never0mind I will just miss anywayts

    I wouldn't say things were "loose" before hand-- I think it is politics trying to make the old guys look bad... I never felt unsafe at all before, but wasn't totally comfortable with the new guy practically taking loaded guns out of shooters hands.... The new guys revealing the hearsay "record" of the other volunteer when he wasn't there to defend himself was also sketchy at best....

    Who's good for Cedar's tonight---6:30-7 o'clock ish???????

    Do we know if they got the machine fixed?

    I'd feel bad not showing up after we told them we come every Thursday and that they would try to make sure they have enough rso's. Try being the key word.

    With that said, I have no problem going to Cedar's.

    I felt bad last week only to be told we couldn't shoot trap ( at first) after shooting there all fall and winter.... I felt bad last week after only being able to get one round in after spending 30 minutes longer there than he ever had previously.... If the machine was truly broken and not just wet pigeons, it still needed to be fixed for others, so I plan on having fun at Cedars tonight where we won't get jerked around... we might get a gun pointed at us by some middle aged lady, but hey- it wasn't loaded.....

    It was kind of a Charlie Foxtrot last week. I think the new RO was kind of thrown into it, and wasn't happy. He could have handled it better. He did loosen up after you left. I think he was an OK guy. I'm sure he was hypersensitive because of all that had happened with the last guys. They have rules there that weren't being followed, and it is a military base. It appears the machine IS broken. Being the nosy bastard that I am I was watching what they were doing. I hope to make it to Cedar's tonight. I am way behind now, so I might be seeing you next week.

    Waiting is the one of the main tagged words in clay shooting. You either wait because of how slow the club moves squads, some place is packed full of people or because the equipment is broke.

    We will be waiting for you because it's your turn again!!! And maybe you wouldn't be behind if you would get off the computer and see patients!

    well you are GWB arn't you.

    Tom-- We had fun tonight and agreed Cedar's is a better facility than APG, so I think we're there for the duration now--- you're welcome to shoot with us!!!
    Lighting was much better, and they keep a nice fire going in the clubhouse, PLUS they make bacon sandwiches!!!!! What more can you ask for????
