WHAT? What happened to "just pick a Saturday and do it"? (said with a sarcastic slightly mocking voice of a small child......................)

Burk Cornelius · Jul 25, 2011

Come on folks! From what I'm seeing there are lots of good shooters that have never ventured into the shotgun world. Trust me, its just as humbling as any other shooting discipline when you start. Then the addiction takes over. I came from the shotgun world to action shooting, but wouldn't go back full time like before, as I like the action shooting. shooting the clays in skeet, trap, 5 stand, or sporting clays is a total challenge to your shooting skills and will only make one a better 3 gun shooter when they use the flying clays as part of the competition.

Y'all think you get some change into your action shooting sports. Well, wait until you see what a starter trap gun Krieghoff costs. Around 7 grand the last time I looked.

That's just what the starter pro's use. Advanced pro's can range much higher.

Sporting clays is what it says. It simulates actual hunting situations, for different specie of game, plus a few twists thrown in.

I've considered anybody hitting 50% in sporting clays to be a pretty good shooter.

A modified choke will make it through a sporting clay round, so any competition gun will work. I started second guessing what choke to use, and found that the modified works just fine.

Don't pass up a chance to have a good time, and challenge yourself and your gear. The fact you may miss a steel challenge, or whatever, won't be the end of the world.

I'd probably give this a go, just to get out and have some fun with forum members.

Silverleaf doesn't normally book tournaments on the weekend but I might be able to get September 17. The only local match this would conflict with is the ICORE match at OKCGC. Without doing a weekday, this is the day with the LEAST conflict.
