No, but there's a water tower not too far down the road.

They are NOT joking when they refer to the FLAT.
I like towers, shot a FITASC course in England once, called for the bird from the (very) tall tower, never saw the first one at all. Hit some, once I figured out they needed 16 feet lead, really. You shot and there was a perceptible delay before you heard a clink and saw the bird break into 4 chunks, if you hit it, that is. Would vote for a tower at Flat, if an alien can vote!

Well, actually, fellas, I have dual nationality, born in England, emigrated to Canada at the age of 32. I think of myself as a Limey first, Canuck second. When I open my gob you can plainly hear my dulcet upper-class English tones lightly tripping out.
I live in Canada and obtained Canadian citizenship so I could enter the USA with a lot more ease. Wife and kids all have 2 passports as well.
Makes it a lot easier at Heathrow, we do not have to line up with all the other rubbish!

Yes, please. All of those, especially the driven incomers.

I agree with Voss! There are too many courses that shy away from close quartering incomming targets for fear of the chance of shooters being showered with clay fragments. With a little thought these incommers can be set so as to minimize the risk of being pelted by pieces of clay.

Pairs that are set so that they can be shot as report pairs OR true pairs are also a lot of fun. If set up so that you can take target one or two first, then so much better. More different presentations from a different set of traps is always a great bonus.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.

Combat clays or man's clays should be the order of the day you have to wear eye and ear protection. the dodging of some clay fragments will keep you sharp so that if you ever hunt with the situationally unaware, like Cush you won't get shot.
