I wanted to do a search and see if anybody on the group had mentioned shotgun sports (ie.. trap, skeet, sporting clays) while posting on 914club.

I entered the word shotgun in the search bar

Here are the hits...

I have a side by side double 12 gauge in the corner right beside this workstation...

Just in case I have an unruly customer!!!

Or happen to see Bambi's Dad outside the office window........ Buckshot in the left hole and Bird shot in the right.....

2 top barrels for shotgun, 3rd center/down barrel for normal round ...

gawd, last time i went hunting was with my dad when i was 15 or so.
we used to go out all the time ...

I miss shooting shotguns off the deck of the fishing boat.

Target practice on whatever we could toss overboard

Don't worry we were out at sea, as long as it wasn't plastic or oil is was ok.

I have two skeet throwers that have not been used once after I moved to south florida, when I lived in north fl I worked at a tv station that was in the middle of nowhere and we would shoot clays in the parking lot!

I shoot supper in the parking lot!

Rabbit is good eatin! we are over infested with them to the point they are in breeding and having two tails, one ear, etc. etc!

Hmmm warm September days walking thru a field lugging 6 lbs of steel and wood. The surprise of having a bird fly up at your feet.........besides Clays taste like dirt and make lousey soup.

Either that or you are too close to a nuclear power plant.......


Or maybe they are mutating due to the high noise levels from your dyno runs....

I hear that when they burn the local sugar cane fields after harvest, the rabbits scurry. I need a friend in the sugar biz. I love the sound of a beagle on a hot trail!

My Dad is a collector. I remember him having one for quite sometime. It was a hammer 16 Ga. with a 30-30 below. I'm pretty sure it was a German make too.

Something came along that he had to have so he traded it Prolly worth a chunk'ochange now

....b

the ole shotgun isn't bad at close range..... but if you want to reach out a little further...

Guns are my other obsession.... My dad has been a collector for 50 years, and has some really cool stuff, hell he had a vaultwith 24" walls put in his basement about 20 years ago! There is a little over 400 in there, all pre 1970!

I'm no where near that point, but getting there...

This is what the rules are for my family buying me gifts at holidays or my birthday:

If I can't kill something with ot, or work with it I don't want it!

So that makes mea easy to buy for.. Knives, Archery supplies ammunition and tools are all I want!!!

Jake, I have been a collector since I was 18. I also have quite a collection too.

I recently got into shotguns, with the loan of my grandfathers browning sweet 16 A5. Definitely a field gun with the 41 years of use on it, but it knocks the clays down pretty well. Looking forward to going bird hunting soon!

My neighbor is on probation for felony DUI.
I have all his guns in my house:
Double Barrel Shotgun
Over/Under Shotgun
Single Barrel Shotgun
38 snub nose revolver
and some other stuff I can't remember.

But, I want an AUG!

I sent this to Jfort (the only person I could located in my original search).

>>I've been getting into Sporting Clays & 5-stand. I like that it provides a lot of the same shooting experience as hunting birds.

I don't care for trap, but I tried skeet a few times and I could get into that with some proper training and some more experience.

Currently, I shoot:

Browning Citori XS Sporting 20 ga - main gun

Huglu U2E O/U (Turkish gun) 12 ga - my first gun purchased. Very well made, very pretty, nice wood, and an excellent price.

My great-grandfather's 1929 Browning A-5 16 ga (pre sweet-sixteen). I had the 16 gauge restored, so I don't shoot it. I'm thinking of displaying it in my office. It is beautiful. Wood recheckered and refinished glossy, entire gun disassembled, reblued, and reassembled. As good as new for a 75 year old gun.

I'm about to pick up a Beretta Teknys Gold Sporting 12 gauge, with 28" barrels. Or I may save some $ and the Remmington 1100 Classic Field in 16 ga ( I love characteristics of the 16).

I'm still a beginner, but I love the sport.

I've got a pump action 12 guage that'll hold 8 rounds, 18 inch barrel (almost) and pistol grip.
It's a great goose gun, except you have to be right up next to them gooses

the word shotgun when used on a 914 forum usually refers to fuel injection troubleshooting. i.e. I think I'll use the shotgun aproach and just stasrt replacing stuff until the problem goes away. Can be very 'spensive.

did some body say shot gun ? here scotts toolwench with one

Actually I am certified and I do dive and I guess I should have been more descriptive when I said out to sea. By that I meant out in the open ocean.

We always followed these rules from the USCG placard that was on the galley wall

Shotgun you say..????

Just can't have enough guns.
Little ones, Big ones,
Loud ones,
tactical ones,
competition ones,
Stupid big (8 gauge) ones,
Heavy ones (50 BMG ones),
Match ones,
pretty ones,
Kinda heavy ones, (338 lapua)
Hunting ones,
Trap, Skeet, Over/under, side by side, pump,auto.
and of course the proverbial itty bitty ones for the pocket.

Shooting is definetly my passion and my sport of choice.

Tis kewl to know there are other shooters in the club.

I say we all go over to Jakes and hunt us all up some supper.

Three miles is nice, and it may be legal but I, we dive as much as 110 miles off the California coast and we have found some unbelievable crap all over the bottom. Don't mean to preach, not my thing but, it goes somewhere and most of the life on this rock ball starts there, never shit where you eat or something...Merry Christmas tho....

No shotgun...yet....still looking at them......want to try my hand at skeet/trap....I love those Citori's.....out of my price range right now, but I did find a barrel set for about $300 for one, wonder how hard it would be to build the rest of it from scratch


Hey Clayton....had dinner at my bro-in-laws house tonight...going to do some electrical work for him in exchange for a .30-06, not sure what kind yet, I'll get it next week or so .... a little more kick than those "small-bores" which I am looking forward to

.30-06 is a good all around gun. You can make all sorts of different loads for the shells. From 110g @ 3600fps to 220g @ 2400fps Match what your shooting at. I've got two of them. If it's a Rem bolt and you don't want it, let me know.

Mueller,
I just got your 10/22 all cleaned and ready to go. Got a scope for it also....

Decent scope, variable. Took it out last week and tore the hell out of a paper plate with a bunch of red stickys on it... Shoots fine.

I also have a 30.06 for you that is scoped, if you don't like what your brother in law has for you.

Let me know if ya still want the 17 HMR. If not... dream about something else that you want and I will see about getting it for you.


By the way, I have a neat Hi-Cap 9mm Taurus that you may want for a back up. let me know if your interested.
Happy Holidays Mueller......

Clayton
