Purchased shotgun ammunition

Was looking into an ammunition purchase (8 or 9 cases).

Academy Sports, $100 a case, plus tax. $104 shipped.

Bass Pro Shops, $100 a case, plus tax, ship to store.

My club (Saltwaters), $100 a case, tax included.

Home club the winner. They have RIO, Challenger and one other that I'm not familiar with, all priced the same.

Purchased a case of RIO to make sure no issues (shot them years ago). Person working the desk was concerned they might not work in a semi, as labeled low recoil. I can almost say one hundred percent that 1200 fps, 1oz is not something normally labeled low recoil unless it's a marketing ploy. Worked fine in two semi-autos.

I'm sure there is some deals out there but usually shipping kills the deal and nor do I want to drive any long distance.

82 degrees at the club. Almost too warm to shoot but we managed.

NCSC (Williston) 5 Stand Shoot - 14 Dec

The Club has decided to add an impromptu NSCA registered shoot to the calendar before the end of the year, on Saturday 12/14/24. We will hold at least a 100 target main event and if weather and snow pack allow we will add a 50 target side event. When registration opens (more on this below), you will only see the main event, but keep an eye on your email the week before the shoot and plan to bring a few extra boxes of shells in case we are able to offer the side event. While this will be a NSCA registered event, non-registered Hunter class shooters are always welcome. Come out and get a jump start on your 2025 target count!

Registration for the shoot will open this coming Thursday, 11/21/2024 at 5pm. I will send another email around that time with a link to Scorechaser. But if you're ambitious you can watch Scorechaser more proactively. In the meantime, check your calendars and reach out to your shooting buddies to coordinate your registrations and shoot times.

A hot lunch will be provided in the clubhouse for the hardy souls that come out and join us!

Please let me know if you have any questions ahead of registration opening later this week.

Thank you,

NCSC's (Vt) final shoot of the year - Oct 19

 NCSC's final registered shoot of the year is coming up next Saturday (Oct 19) with a 100 target main event, and 50 target "Fluff" side event being offered. This is a NSCA registered shoot, but non-registered Hunter class shooters are always welcome to join up. If you are hoping to join us and have not yet signed up, I have some bad news... The shoot filled quickly and all 40 main event slots are taken. Still, information about the shoot can be found at the following link on Scorechaser.

https://app.scorechaser.com/tournament-RS0CXCPEEFL0V2

If you would like to join us, I would be happy to put you on a wait list. Conversely, if you signed up and will not be able to make the shoot, please cancel through Scorechaser or let me know so we can free your spot for someone else.

If you believe in long-range forecasting, next Saturday is looking like a great day. We hope to see as many of you as possible there!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Bob Otty otty.robert@gmail.com

Remington Gun Club Failed to Fire

Brand new factory Remington Gun Club, 12-gauge shell. Sounded like a reload without powder when I pulled the trigger. 

Primer went off and blew the wad out the barrel.  No signs of unburnt powder.

I've shot cases since this past winter.  First one that failed to fire. Had several weak sounding ones and a few that failed to open the bolt on my semi when cycling.
