So instead of hijacking started my own!

Tony - never been bird hunting but looking for that first experience. Have a well used Browning A5 that my grandfather bought new in 63. Not so hot at skeet, but shot a decent 23 at wobble last month and routinely grab 20 at trap. Would you have a link to the game farms? How long is the hunting season (all year)?

Bill

Bill,
Take a look at Pintail Point . Nice setup, and great stocked field shooting. My Browning Gold Hunter is a great field gun, but a little too much barrel [30"] for skeet. I score low on the range, but it never fails to 'reach out and touch' a flushed bird.

Pintail Point is a decent place, about 30 minutes from me.

Looks great! I am planning an outing for this Sunday right now. Thanks for the tip. If i cannot get 3 of my non-porsche guys to commit (we have been discussing for some time), then maybe there would be some interest here?

lol - mine is smaller than most. Only have a wee 16 guage. Then again they make smaller... Guess that would make min average. Either way, I dont mind swinging it this way and that. Besides this is a porsche enthusiast site, we have enough preconceived notions against us.

For example:

what is the difference between a porcupine and a porsche?

porcupine has pricks on the outside

Obvious overabundance of intestinal fortitude to mention “member issues” in regards to guns (especially on this site) … and still you drive a Porsche
Even my oldest daughter knows not to make comments about guns, cars and members! It took some tough love but she finally came around 8)
I’m one of the few Dorkie that doesn’t feel under armed with a mere 9mm (high capacity, stoked with silver tips ).
RL should be by in a minute and set you straight

I have a beater Ithaca 12 gauge for skeet. I wonder how a run rack would look in the SC. 9mm are for Europeans. Here we use .45's. Flame away!

No flame, just blame for being lame… Come on you can do better than that
The man said bad things about gun owners.. OK maybe only implied, but come on RL, stick up for your member(ship) 8)

I missed that Dave. I guess living in the People's Republic of MD is punishment enough for him.
