Should have posted this earlier, but I'm posting it now. On 3/24 my son and I and 3 of his buddies signed up for the State Fair of Texas Scholarship Event out at the Dallas Gun Club in Lewisville I believe, shooting sporting clays. OH MY, I still can't get the smile off my face. It was the most fun I've had with my clothes on. If y'all get a chance to do this event it's for a very worthy cause and great fun with lots of prizes for participating. It was an 80 bird shoot and I managed to bust 64 of them. Since it was beginners luck and I out shot everybody on the team, I hope they invite me back again next year. Now I need to find a close course to East Dallas. I'M HOOKED

It is a blast. I really like Fossil Pointe out near Decatur. If you decide to give their course a go give me a shout and maybe we can meet up out there. Might be able to drag a couple other forum members with us.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

That is really Great, Its good to see schools getting into the shooting sports as Lewisville is.
I'm in a Sporting Clays League at Elm Fork. Started last week, very fun and quite humbling. I would say 80% of the shooters are like me (average) there are some hotshots out there too. Maybe by the end of summer I'll be a hotshot !!!
I haven't shot the Dallas Gun Clubs SC courses but 64/80 is way better than "average" I would have to put you in with the "hotshots"
Keep those boys shooting!!!!!

5 Stand Dan is a ringer! I'm just an old dude shooting a beat up, 62 yearold pump gun.

Elm Fork has two 100 target courses, a 50 target course, and two 5 Stand layouts.
