Any special target presentations?

That high pair off the dam(n) fixed me good last year, hits and misses all mystery. I think that's where the LDL was introduced and that likely only confused the issue.

Would like to see another truck or car door station, maybe a tower seat to ground-swat some stationary targets Texas-style using a "beanfield" shotgun and slugs or a passing dove station shot while standing in a moving pickup truck bed. How about a handful of saplings for the rest of the squad to snap at the shooter's glasses to replicate ruffed grouse hunting? A few could be thorny branches, maybe one in seven or eight.

Larry-

Did you mean less walking? If so, that will be good for Kirk, as he had trouble keeping up last year.

Larry, if there's any less waking, by Sunday I'll still be asleep.

Less walking would be fine with me, actually, thanks Larry.
Last year I waited for the tractor and trailer with the straw bales to sit on, like a real English shoot, to take me back to the clubhouse from the Farthest Reaches, but it did not show and I had to walk.

How about some Somali Pirates floating dead in the water. That would make a good target presentation.

LDL??

Yes, Kirk...you are correct. That very station is where the LDL was first officially employed last year. It seemed to work pretty well for me as I got a nine there. That strange lil' chandelle cleaned my clock though...took a five and never hit it once! :shock:

Rick, the Chandelle was one of the few I shot cleanly (on Sat or Sun). To keep the walking further limited I may just sit down at that station and shoot it with each squad that comes by until I finally miss one. I heard Larry B got so aggravated last year he shot half a box at that target until he got it grooved.

I might just hang out to watch when he comes by to shoot his few ounces of sour grapes at it this year.

Kirk, we have to be careful setting up scenarios "Texas-style"--- we'd have an obligatory station where one starts squatting behind a tree with their pants around their ankles to simulate the "reality" of a hunt. A prudent person never trusts having their pants around their ankles when there are Texans in the vicinity! :lol:
:oops: sorry, that was bad.

OK, I'll bite, but I'll come up in my own car. I've made reservations outside town and I'll bring my best Marlin bolt action shotgun. I'll come up Friday afternoon.

Do I need to send reservation money to somebody?

Bring about 1-2 cases of shells?

To Digger if you really want to, but you really need to 'sound off' so Stack gets your steak ordered.

Digger, pumpgun Bill Layman insists . . . we MUST have rabbits!

Chandelle . . . Kirk, you got bad info. I never got that SOB grooved, although I may well have shot half a box of shells at it.
