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. :)
