Oak Tree Gun Club Manufacturers Shootout / Review & Pictures.

Today was the first of what I hope will be the annual Oak Tree Gun Club “Manufacturers Shootout”. 150 shooters gathered to shoot different manufacturers guns at a 10 station, 100-bird event.

You only needed to bring ear and eye protection and $80. At every station each manufacturer had an assortment of their guns to choose from. As well as a manufacturer’s rep to give information about their guns and answer any questions. Most had 12ga O/Us and semi-autos. A few had 20ga and youth models as well. Browning and Beretta seemed to have the biggest displays and may have been the major sponsors.

So in addition to shooting a fun and challenging event, you got to try out guns from Browning, Beretta, Weatherby, SKB, Remington, HK, SigArms & Verona. Winchester, PMC and Estate provided all the ammo.

After shooting we had a BBQ lunch and an awards ceremony. High Over All won a Browning 525 Sporting Clays. I didn’t stick around to get my score, but I haven’t gotten any phone calls yet. :(

All in all it was a fun event and I learned that I “need” a new shotgun. :)

After a day of hard use by 150 shooters, the Brownings still locked up like a drum. I sold my 425 Golden Clays last week and I'm buying a 525 in the near future.

Ya know- I'm kinda cursed in having been raised by an English teacher mom. I could not help but notice on your "Welcome To..." banner (picture #2) that "Manufacturer" was misspelled. Sorry- I can't help myself:(

But I'm sure everyone had a great time. The club looks like a great place. I wish we had one like that near here.

Hey man, I just take the pictures and write the reviews.

Here in California, we're not the best spellers in the world, but we have fun at our shoots :)

BUT THANK GOD FOR PHOTOSHOP :)
