I have a CG Summit undersingle trap gun, and plan to shoot it until the blueing gets shot off the barrel. No better unsingle gun made in my opinion, and I have shot many trap shotguns. For O/Us there are different options depending on what you want to se it for (trap doubles, skeet, or...

Mein Gott! That place is on my bucket list now. I've heard of indoor ranges with modified clay target shooting (there was an article about a skeet variant using plastic targets and #12 shot that never really caught on in the states), but an actual full-service Olympic bunker trap indoors...

I smell a MythBusters episode...

Three things come to mind...a nice bottle of wine*, a terrific book or other piece of literature, and a musical masterwork, either a recording or a concert. I'm a classical baritone myself and have always found music one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling things the world has to offer, it...

I haven't had any myself--all my doggies have had "people" names--but have come across more than a few that other people had. Off the top of my head, I have seen dogs named Ruger, Colt, and Remi (Remington). There's a horse in my mind somewhere with a gun name too, but I can't remember what it...

Hi! I'm thinking about upgrading from my trusty BT99, and came across the more moderately priced Krieghoff trap singles. Does anyone have experience with the KS5 or KS5 special Krieghoff trap guns? Krieghoff recently came out with the new KX5 line, which has left some fine-looking KS5s, the...

Our local club here in Maine has a special resident...a Ruffed Grouse (AKA "Pa'tridge") who decided to make the sporting clays course his home. "Petey", as he has come to be named, has never been bothered by the shotgun blasts, and acts like a lab with feathers. I've seen him catch a ride on...

It's the most fun you can have with clay targets, but it is HARD, much more so than skeet or trap. Tournaments are usually 100 targets and are either shot as registered targets (like NSSA or ATA, there is a National Sporting Clays Association that will maintain an average and class for you if...

I was shooting skeet this afternoon, and after firing a shot, I noticed that the stock had come loose on my 1100. It was moving a bit from side to side, so I figured the stock bolt had come loose. Long story short, I removed the butt plate, made sure all the washers were where they needed to...

OK, I will call them and see if the shop is on file. I can't imagine it wouldn't be...this is the LL Bean flagship store, the one that's open 24/7/365. Someone must have transferred a firearm from CDNN through them at one point in their history! And if not, I'll have them send or fax a copy...

Thanks everyone for the advice! I will definitely consider them as long as I can sell this old camera stuff first! Got to trade old toys for new toys. One more question though...how exactly does one go about purchasing a firearm online? I've only ever done it over the counter. Would I...

Hi all. I've been thinking about ordering a Lanber 2087, 30'' 12ga from CDNN. You can't beat the price, and the Lanber company has a great reputation (this 2087 would be a clays gun...if anyone knows that this gun is NOT good for clay shooting, please don't hesitate to tell me!!). What I am a...

Got the end of my thumb caught in my Remington 1100 once. I was loading the second shell into the magazine for a skeet double and stuck the finger a little too far into the chamber to make sure the shell was in there all the way (the last time, I didn't push it in far enough, and it didn't...

The foam that comes in the Pelican cases works pretty well in my experience, and I've had to put some rather interesting pieces of camera equipment in there from time to time. I would try the regular "pick and pluck" foam first, then get a custom cut out if the former doesn't work. Saves a bit...

I love Pelican cases...two of them have housed my camera equipment for several years now, and I couldn't be happier. For transporting a .22 plinko to and from the range, I'd agree, it's overkill, but when you have something that constitutes a real investment on your part and want to make sure...

Trap and skeet are both pretty simple...in trap, you stand at 16 yards from the house, while the clay throwing machine (the trap) oscillates randomly from left to right. You don't know where the clay will go, except that it will be in some direction heading away from you. Each shooter takes...

It's only non gun-related if Santa or Hannukah Harry forgot to leave you a present that goes boom...otherwise, looks kosher to me ;) One vintage 34'' BT99 in the bag for Hannukah this year, you might say I've been a pretty happy person since last week or so!

Happy holidays and all the best for 2010 from Maine. Here's hoping your shots find the 10 ring, your clays get dusted, and Santa or Hannukah Harry (I can't leave him out in good conscience, as my family and I would be otherwise without a holiday present-conveying entity!) leaves a nice new toy...

The tag always goes on the inside. Don't know exactly why, but I've checked my skeet equipment many times with different airlines, and they put the tag on the inside. Maybe TSA can see it through the X-ray...who knows.

I'm not even close to rich. I'm a college kid, so money has never been in abundance. The best I can do is work my tuchus off during breaks, which helps cover my shooting expenses. Nothing I own would turn any heads, unless the person had never heard of Kolar or Kreighoff and though a...
