EricW Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Brian, You truly are da man! I'd be happy to help moderate with the understanding that I'm still learning. Maybe it's just that the kid in me never grew up. I just LOVE watching those puppies vaporize... Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted December 28, 2001 Author Share Posted December 28, 2001 Thanks SS. EricW, Arn't you some sort of mondo international trap wizard? Any experience on Clays or FITASC? 3qt, Personally, I couldn't provide any assistance on load data for shotgun because I've done very little reloading. (I've always had the good fortune to have a sponsor.) Anyone shotgun reloading experts out there? Patrick? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 BE, I'm not even close to being a Whizzo. I don't think I've shot trap "formally" since I was eighteen. (I was not a good shooter back then - wrong attitude - OK, OK - BAD attitude.) I just started shooting Clays very casually about three years ago. Never shot FITASC - I think I'm afraid to. My fragile ego may not be able to handle it. I'm going for my first formal clay shooting lesson tomorrow, so I'll be happy to relay all the vast storehouse of knowledge I gather back to the forum. I do know a couple of people who could be SC "experts" to the forum. I'll see if they're interested. I can help with some of the simple reloading issues - been doing that for years.

ranger Posted December 29, 2001 Share Posted December 29, 2001 I'll help with Clays. I shot USPSA since 1986. I shot three Chevy Truck Challenges and looked ugly on the shotgun events. Joined Forest City Gun Club in Savannah, GA - a local Skeet/Trap/Sporting Clays club to prepare for CTC. Now I got hooked on shotgun and shoot 95% shotgun, 5% pistol. I'll help anyway I can. I reload extensively (pistol and shotgun) and can talk the pros and cons of most shotgun equipment. Glad you started a Clays page. Pistol shooters - warning, shooting Clays may quickly impact lure you away from your pistols! There is something truly satisfying about smokeballing a clay target.
