Went over to the Sportsman's Club of Franklin County, St. Albans Bay, Vermont to lend a hand with a target delivery. Plenty of hands available to move target boxes, as the Boy Scouts of America, Troop 603 assisted. Scouts and Club Members The scouts use the club from time to time. This is their way of given back to the club! As well as club members, my "back" appreciated the help... PHOTOS

Was in a recent discussion on the setting of skeet targets with a radar gun. From the NSSA website... Use of Radar Gun for Setting Skeet Targets 1. Check high house-set at 46.0 to 46.9 MPH. Stand on station 1 and aim gun at the top of the hoop. DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER. Hold gun steady and throw a target through DEAD-CENTER (+ or - 6 inches) of hoop. The top speed will be measured approx

NSSA skeet shoot at Lamoille Valley Fish & Game, Morrisville, Vermont. Not a large crowd but all had a good time. 12 gauge and doubles. $20 a gun, to include lunch. A cool damp day. 47 degrees at 2pm. Rain pants and rain jacket kept me warm! Rained on the way to the club, but only a slight drizzle for the first three rounds in the AM. Interesting background... As for lunch. Hambugers

Kayaderosseras (NY) last week, Valleyfield (Quebec) this week. Missing the sun this week, but what a difference in backgrounds. Even without the sun, seemed to pick the target up quicker. A fun shoot, wished it had been registered! Also, two weeks in a row, hamburgers from the fridge to the grill. Not already cooked and re-warmed when ordered.

Only a few shoots left this year... Please, no ready to serve pre-cooked hamburgers and hot dogs. Nothing worst then being served a dried out pre-cooked hamburger or hot dog that has been sitting on the side of the grill, than re-heated and served. I'm willing to wait the 8-10 minutes it takes to cook a burger. I'm sure others our as well. Also, don't purchase six shoots worth of hamburgers

QPTA Trap. A well run trap shoot at Club L'Acadie last weekend. Four fields, 25 targets per field. Shot Saturday and Sunday. Rained a bit Saturday and on the windy side on Sunday. I video taped 99% of the award presentations (at the end of the video). Be warned they are in French. However, even if you don't speak French you can see all are having a good time. ---------- NSSA Skeet.

A windy Saturday at the Club de Tir de Valleyfield trap shoot this past weekend. The wind seemed to really pick up after the first couple of squads. During the first 100 the wind was in my face. During the second 100 the wind was hitting my right shoulder. If the wind stopped blowing the person shooting would have fallen over. A few times I was rocked by the wind when in my shooting stance.

My MEC 9000G reloader had a broken weld in the upper part of the machine. Contacted MEC and found that the weld was covered under warrenty, even if you owned the machine for ten years or more. A side note. If not covered, they charge $65 an hour, plus parts. I have not idea how old my reloader is, but I think I purchased it about a year after they became available, upgrading from a Grabber. I

I attended a Lost Target Fun Shoot hosted by Club de Tir de Valleyfield. One of the smaller clubs in Quebec, but a club with a big heart! I received an email a few months back with the Valleyfield schedule for posting to Clays Quebec. A "Lost Target Fun Shoot" was listed. Not even asking if I was interested before putting out the schedule. Anyhow; a nice day for a shoot and thanks to everyone

Wish to attract American target shooters back to Canadian clubs? Numbers that were last seen in the 70s and 80s. The Canadian rules for registering non-restricted firearms will likely change in 2011 or next year at the latest.

I had a number of lite re-loads at last weeks trap shoot. Cost me a few targets, as it got to the point that I was thinking about my shells and not targets! I thought the reason for the lite shells was I filled an empty powder bottle and the powder had not yet settled when reloading the first box or two of shells. Those shells in-turn got mixed in with the shells I brought to the shoot. Past

A bad reload at a shoot yesterday and a wad got stuck in the barrel. I thought I was going to have to leave the line to clear the barrel, but a shooter handed me a cut down 12 gauge hull with a live primer. Maybe half the height of a regular hull. No powder or wad, not crimped. I loaded and shot the hull. The pressure generated from the primer expelled the stuck wad. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
