Ahh target shooting!
I was just thinking about all the fun I have had while target shooting. I think some call it skeet shooting or clay pigeon etc. All I know is that it is an awesome way to get out some of life’s aggravations while you shoot something that won’t get you jail time. Hopefully!!!
The gang of use would head to or friends farm and start shooting away. Besides being a bad shot I had a hell of a time with that damn clay pigeon throwing thingy. I swear I broke more of them than I got to fly. It isn’t that hard to do but I just didn’t get the hang of it. There were a couple times that we had a bunch of cups, dishes and plates that some one gave us that we used. Now that was fun to throw up and shoot at. Unless your friend almost get’s his head blown off!(sorry Butch) Always be sure of your target and beyond. Another tip is never ever play tag with the clay pigeons they hurt like hell when they hit you! You know that saying That is going to leave a mark!
The cost of the clay pigeons aren’t bad at all. But the good sturdy launchers are a little bit pricey but worth every penny. As far as the shotgun shell go I found that in the long run it was way cheaper to buy a reload machine and make your own. I really couldn’t tell a difference between the two. But like I have said many times already they say I suck at shooting! OK so maybe I am starting to believe them.When it was close to small game time I would shot the same shells that I would for hunting. That way I could see how the gun was with them. Other than that I couldn’t see spending the money on them.
It is really a good family outing were you can teach the kids about the safety of guns and have some fun. Hell pack a lunch and make a day of it. Just remember to clean up after you are done. even more so if you are on somebodys property that was nice enough to let you use it.
I have never had the opportunity to go to one of those outdoor target ranges. But I hear that they are really awesome. Maybe someday I will get the chance to try one out. I have used the local pistol ranges and they are great.
I would love to hear your opinion or thoughts about mine. If you want to leave it as a comment that is fine. Or you can email it to me at reelandsteel.com@gmail.com.
Also if you have a story that you would like to share as a guest blogger or pics you would like to post on the website email them to me also.
Have a great day all and enjoy your days in the outdoors! I want snow NOW!! Just a foot or two!
