Does anyone have any information on the youth outdoor festival at the Manchester Fairgrounds? It is on the Benelli website for this weekend October 30. Thanks for any help. Matt

Don't worry about me, I'll make it when I can. We'll get on the same schedule sometime. Matt

Cedar City is having their Club Championships in October. Skeet is Oct. 2, Trap Oct. 16, 5 Stand Oct. 30. Just something to think about, I don't know how many fields will be open. I'd go but I've got plans for the first 2 weekends in Oct. Matt

I'll second that! I was using winchester dynapoint GT and my first trip to the range after 200 rounds I have to ship it back for repairs. But it was fun to fire and I'm looking forward to getting it back.

Some thing to think about is Charles Daly has closed it's doors. Check out www.charlesdalyforum.com for more info. I purchased a used CD 28" 12ga semi-auto last fall and have had good luck with it.

"1345" 1995-99 2nd FSSG & 1st MAW

Yeah, I just bought a S & W 15-22 for my daughter and we haven't had a chance to fire it yet. We've got plans for Sat morning but maybe that afternoon or Sunday. Matt

I wish I had some place at the house to shoot. I'm behind the krogers, but growing up we would shoot at my Grandfather's in VA. There are no daily fees and non members are $6 a round for skeet & trap, 5 stand is $2 more and a sporting clays course is set up in the fall. Your first trip you shoot at member rates of $4 and until the end of Sept. visitors can shoot for $4. The Benelli is fun to shoot, I usually shoot 4-5 rounds when i go and I'm very comfortable at the end of the day. I have been shooting the CD because my wife has claimed the Vinci. I'll let you when I go, I need to go to Stones River sometime. Matt

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I tried skeet for the first time a few months ago. I have shot some in the back yard with a spring-loaded thrower, but they mostly went away from me and not across. Don't worry about the gun, it's a hobby and it's different for everybody. It's as much as you want to spend. I started with a used Charles Daly 12 Semi-auto and recently purchased a Vinci, but my goal is an O/U too. When I first started one guy said to start at low 7 and get practice with the bird just rising and falling. Have you heard of "Cedar City Gun Club" it is out by the track. It takes no time to get there from LaVergne. Hope that helps. Matt
