A Quebec club that a few years ago came back from the dead and is now one of the more successful small clay target clubs in the province.
Days prior to the shoot the club took delivery of a brand new PAT trap. You could feel the excitement in the air, as a major purchase for a small club. The club now has two PAT Traps, along with older Winchester traps.
As a side note. The older PAT Trap is either PAT Trap #1 or #2, purchased rebuilt from the La Roue du Roy who purchased one of the first models when they were made available. Still running strong...
The first squad to shoot off the new trap. Heide in the red vest and me on the extreme right. We're wearing the Valleyfield club hats.
The wind was not suppose to kick up until the PM, but I felt the wind at my back when I hit the field. Don't mind a steady wind, but it was in an out.
A die hard skeet shooter was pulling targets for us on Field #1. Matter of fact, Max is one of the better skeet shooters in Canada. At a Valleyfield skeet shoot you'll find the trap shooters lending a hand.
We stopped at a market prior to re-entering the states and picked up a loaf of french bread. Baked fresh three times a day. We also stopped for a soft ice cream cone. The fat content in the ice cream is more than seen in soft ice cream in most regions of the states and you can tell the difference. Very rich!
Crossing into the states we were prepared to have are new enhanced drivers licenses scanned, but the small crossing was not equipped with a reader. They had to punch in the numbers. I was told they were not at this time scheduled to have the scanners installed.
In any case, as of June 1, 2009 you will require either a Passport or Enhanced Drivers License to re-enter the states at all land crossings. Children will require a birth certificate.
