Great cause, great people and a great time!!

Time to get your teams signed up folks

I was at Fossil Pointe today doing some "scouting". Shot both white and green course. Good news is my wrist held up fine. Bad news, I still suk

It's all about the BSing and BBQ anyway... And I suspect you'll still sneak up on the podium again

Need several more teams guys!! Grab a buddy or two and get signed up

hetman trying to hit a bird.



Hetman making excuses - Really, I did have this much lead, that crosser was a fast bird.



Tom (capt hook) making us look bad with his 1950 Belgium Browning. He had just gotten out of surgery for a appendicitis emergency the past week & had to lend him a weight belt to hold the stiches together. talk about a trooper!



Tom still wailing away with his 10lb A5-Looks like he has good form/cheek weld and follow thru- Tom has had it since he was a kid - too many moving parts for me Needs to be put on a plack hanging up on the wall - and upgraded - But that won't happen LOL

Looking forward to putting some faces to some names!

This sure looks like a lot of darned fun for a really good cause. I haven't used a shotgun on a moving target in decades ... for a reason ...

Well I have my Dad's Belguim Browning and that sucker kicks way to much to shoot clays! I remember about 40+ years go we were hunting greenheads in the timber. I came over to him and he was leaned ukp against tree and said had to quit shooting think if broke shoulder or collar bone. It's a safe queen with me now mostly with the original lay-away receipt attached.

I shot a Remington model 11 last Saturday and woke up to a green and blue shoulder next morning. Its still a little blue.

Plan on using it again on the 15th.

Model 11 Model 11 Description: First autoloading shotgun produced in the U.S.A. Introduction Year: 1905 Year Discontinued: 1947 Total Production: Approximately 850,000 (including 65,000 made for Browning during World War II) Designer/Inventor: John F. Browning with subsequent improvements By C.C. Loomis and other Remington designers


Chalet, you and Tom(Aka Capt.hook) would get along just fine . Just think you are only shooting lite target loads . Tom says : naw it don't kick( i have shot it , he lies)

Always Ready 2 hunt - I bet it kicked your dad shooting full house duck loads

One of the cool things about this great event is the guys bringing out classic guns for the cause.

Yep.. wondering what Snakeman is going to bring is always fun.

Mine shoots better with high velocity so that's what I shoot. Probably need to figure out the friction ring. I purchased off a member maybe ten years ago, think it was built in the late teens. I like the heft and the humpback, just feels right.

Trying to figure out a birdshot load for his cannon

I haven’t decided yet what I’m bringing…..

The birdshot load for the cannon isn’t the issue. The inconsistent burn time of the fuses and swinging it tracking the clay is what’s problematic…..

Looking for last minute teams and individual entry's. If you're a single and would like to come out, I'll find a team of great folks for you to shoot with!

It's Go Time... packing the truck with trophies and auction items. See ya'll Saturday morning!

Ill be there.

Loaded up and ready to roll with the exception of shotguns and coffee! Be loading those and hitting the road early tomorrow morning….really looking forward to seeing everyone!

Guns are ready and the weather is going to be perfect

Oh Yeah!! Its that time See ya'll at the range!!

Leaving the house now.

Had a great shoot today. If you weren't there you miss a great day to shoot. With a great group of shooters. We didn't win but we had a lot of fun. I just need to learn to shoot better. Im getting there though

I wanna publically say BIL whooped my tail, earning $60 more for Dave’s event. I shot a 71 with my grandfather’s 1100 and thought I did pretty good. That overgrown knucklehead comes at me with an 86.

All good fun had with great people.

The guy that spoke on behalf of combat veterans added a whole other layer to the level of why I love this event. Dave and his wife are doing God’s work on behalf of SO many. . . . each and every day.

Bless y’all’s hearts Mr. Kershen. Keep up the great work.

A few pics from yesterday .

I was able to make it this year for the first time. The New Hope Equine Assisted Therapy program as well as everyone there supporting the cause left such an inspiring and positive impression on me. There were many there at the event and I cannot wait to meet more of you. Here's to the next year's event, and it was an honor being a part of what I feel is a time-honored tradition in supporting all that New Hope does. See yall around!

to the forum and the shoot! Glad you enjoyed it. The number of good folks you’ll meet off of this forum is amazing

Everyone mark your calendars for April 13th, 2024 when we get together for the 9th Annual New Hope Clay Shoot!

This makes Bullfrog happier’n a puppy with 2 peters
