Raahauge's last Sunday?

[ysr_racer]

I know a few of you guys shot sporting clays at Raahauge's (Corona, CA) last Sunday.

How'd it go? How'd you do? Are you going back?

I gots to know

Some of us were good, some were just there. We had a good time, me even despite my 25

What's up CrackerMan!!! Fullerton in the house.

Brad, sorry we missed you. I think you would have enjoyed the company as long as you came fully prepared/aware of the trouble making abilities of this group. It was a whole lotta fun. There were 14 of us altogether broken into three squads. I had so much fun that I basically forgot about looking at the bird and proceeded into a tail spin after station 7 -- everything you told me not to do.

In addition to the CalGuns group, there were a lot of familiar faces on the course - folks I recognize from TBC and MnM. The shooting/sporting clay community is a small and well knit community. Hopefully this will become a regular shoot for me - just need to convince my wife of that

PS - the 22 cents per clay rate for after the tourney is down right a steal! RayPDA and I hung out afterwards and shot some more. I hate shooting with him. He makes it look so easy.

Didn't make it to this one, but will definitely be at the next one. It's a bit of a drive for me (San Diego) so I can't make it up there as much as I'd like. 61/100 first and only time on the sporting clays field with my 870 pump and a few loaner Berettas that were set up at some of the stands.

If you guys want to shoot sporting clays in So Cal, you're in luck. We have four courses, and three of them hold National Sporting Clays Assn (NSCA) registered tournaments.

Each of them holds their monthly registered shoot on a different weekend. Each of them has something different to offer, all are fun to shoot, and all are open to the public.

Triple B Clays is located in El Monte off of the 60 near the 605. They have a 24 station flat course, in a heavily treed setting. There are 12 hunter stations and 12 tournament stations, most have A, B & C shooting position. Most of their stations have three or four machines presenting a good variety of target presentations. Their monthly registered shoot is on the first Sunday of the month. http://www.triplebclays.com and the home of this year's CA State Sporting Clays Championship June 19 - 22.

Raahauge’s is located in Corona off of the 91 between the 71 and the 15. It’s a semi-flat course set in the Prado flood plane. They keep adding new stations and new machines all the time. I think they're up to about 25 by now. Their monthly registered shoot is on the second Sunday of the month. Mike has passed away, but the range is still going strong. http://www.raahauges.com/

Moore-N-Moore is located in San Fernando off of the 210 near the 118. It’s a great course with hills and valleys in the San Gabriel Mtn foothills. They have 12 stations, 10 of them have A & B shooting positions. They really are “The friendliest range in southern California”. They hold their monthly registered shoot on the third Saturday of the month. http://www.moorenmoore.com

Oak Tree is located in Newhall off of the 5 near the 14. They have some of the most spectacular views on a sporting clays course anywhere in America. http://www.oaktreegunclub.com/ (Call before going)

Prado Olympic Shooting Park is located in Chino off of the 71 near the 91. They offer trap, skeet & 5-stand. http://www.shootprado.com/

All of these places offer public shooting so don’t wait until they hold their monthly shoots. Contact the clubs directly for more information.

If you live in Los Angeles and you can’t find a place to shoot, you’re not looking hard enough.

Here’s a link to my website. I’ve got pictures & reviews of the clubs:

I was there last Sunday. It was the first time I have shot sporting clays, and it showed. Even though I didn't do that great, I had a great time. I will definitely be doing it again. I will also be looking into Oaktree and Moore-N-Moore.

Went with the crew. Had a blast. I need to check out the local courses with JJ805.

JJ, Toes and whoever else may be interested, let's setup a Sunday and head out to Oaktree. I've got a discount card there for the trap, skeet and sporting clay course and can get one free shotgun rental if need be.

Also, MnM has a fun shoot for $37 (100 clays) with a hot dog and soda lunch on the first Sunday of every month. Let me know if there's interest.

That's some fine work there MP! As soon as my brain turns on and I start to think about the shot, it all goes to....

Definatly interested. I have been to Oaktree twice to cover stuff as press but have never shot it. ANd we should get a regular crew for MNM.
