HELP! I discovered Clays and now hooked

[bigbearbear]

Spent Sat and Sun at Coyote Valley Sporting Clays. Too much fun.

Trap went 10 for 25
Skeet went 5 for 25

Sporting Clay stations were a blast as well.

Did fairly well with the Versamax but after renting the Browning 625 O/U there is something to be said with that cool factor.

I wonder if the kids really need that college fund

Oh, Coyote Valley? I'm there almost every weekend, usually in the morning. I was there at the trap field last Sunday morning.

BTW if you do 10 on the trap, you're doing VERY well for the first time. The trap field for Coyote Valley is not standard trap. If you did not turn off the vertical movement and engage the vertical parking, it will be wobble trap. Even if you engage those to make it ATA style with fixed height, that machine throws clays very low and fast. It is a lot more difficult than the regular ATA one.

I didn't know this until I was invited to shoot at Sunnyvale Rod & Gun club by one of their member I met at Coyote Valley (he bought a Citori there and was trying it out during his 10 day wait), their trap field is set to ATA regulation and is a lot easier. If you can get 10 consistently at Coyote Valley, try Sunnyvale Rod & Gun (trap open to public on Sat). You should be able to get around 18 to 20 easily. They have a min. barrel length requirement of 26" though.

Hi, my name is John, and I'm an addict.

My daughter (18) is also now hooked... each week asking if we are going trap shooting on Saturday. I love the time together, but yeah, its hard on the wallet, but worth every penny to me. I just bought her a cute pink accented shooting vest and she's all jazzed about it.

Reminds me of when I used to play golf. Way fun, addictive, maddening, and you can't wait to play the next time right up until you reach a plateau in your results.

You daughter is 18? She should be paying for the shoot man!

Kids these days....no respect for their elders...

Yeah its always fun going after a moving target. Not many options to do that with rifle/pistol shooting that are reasonably priced and don't involve the streets of Oakland.

I will definitely have to take a look at those settings on the machine. I could use easier for sure. Thanks.

I wish we had 18 year old girls at my range. Im 21, and the cutest girls we see are in their 30's. Have fun shooting

We'll have to arrange a "Calguns" day at Coyote Valley Clays in the not to distant future.

I go to Coyote Valley Sporting Clays also. I just started Sporting Clays and have only shot twice. It is fun with my Browning White Lightning O/U

Second the idea of getting some training at really affordable prices. Definitely will help with the learning curve (and lessen your frustration level for the time being).
