Shotgun Clay

I shot at that range in the 80's, when the area around it was developing rapidly. Eventually, some yuppies house got perforated and the club installed huge cement culverts on the rifle range so you could not physically elevate the rifle enough to go over the backstop. Lighting off a .300 Win Mag in a pipe is quite the experience.

I'll pass that on to the powers that be. ;)

Looks like you're going to get a new post next June. Monday we had big winds and a major dust devil bullseyed the Greeter Shack.

I sat in a running Tesla for 4 hours in a closed garage and all that happened was I got hungry.

If you can find one, the Sig Match Elite is the way to go.

Savage 99 in .250-3000 Winchester 12 in 16 gauge 1911 in .38 Super. So whoever kills me will spend the rest of their life looking for ammo.

It will eventually go away. If it was named the Clinton virus, that's another matter. As far as warmth, according to global warming afficianados we only have about 11 years. I should still have some TP in stock at that date.

Brian at All American Jewelry in Edgewood may know someone, plus he's a neighbor. (505) 281-1876 Mari and I have been going to him for years.

Give thanks for being above ground one more day.

The new world runs on two rules: Anything I don't like is racist. Anyone I don't like is Hitler.

I did prisoner intake at the county lockup a few times. Never got asked if someone was in cellblock B or the like. Of course, never got cavity searched at the Embassy Suites either. Life is full of trade offs.

If you're traveling on Rt 40, it's about 20 minutes from the Edgewood NM exit to see Founders Ranch. Call me at 505-934-2533, and with some advance notice I'd be glad to give you a tour even if we're not open at the time (normal hours Wed-Sun 10 to 3).

So cousin Eddie doesn't have to use the storm drain.

Santa does look pretty wired.

The pair of schofields and the leather worn by Ben Foster in that movie showed up in a local NM gunstore. A bit too rich for my wallet, but nice.

Been in NM about 30 years and have never seen the New Mexico state magazine.

I cannot speak to that, but FR only opened to shooters other than SASS (particularly during EOT) in 2011 with the beginnings of the sporting clays area.

If you are a SASS member you are automatically a Founders Ranch member. The non-cowboy members of both the rifle/pistol range and the sporting clays range generate revenue to maintain and improve the facilities.

Brevity is the soul of wit. As it should be with many other areas of the human endeavor. Sellers sell, buyers buy.

Fantastic book. Spoke about it to one of our shooters, and he said his father was a truck driver in the 3rd Armored. His Dad never got over General Rose being killed, even many years later.

Some guy showed up at the range with a Wally World 100 pack of Winchester 12 gauge with a Pumpkin Spice label on it. It's gotten to the point of parody.

Good luck to all the NM Cowboys!

Just gather up and reuse the plastic ones. A guy I know did this when he was stationed somewhere reloading supplies were hard to come by. Put them in a mesh bag and tumbled them in a dryer. Said it did OK.

The S prefix was used from the late 40's when the hammer block was added as a "safety" feature until 1968, when the N prefix began following the GCA. If there is a star on the gun (probably bottom of the grip frame) that indicates it was re-nickeled at the factory. I doubt that is the case, this one looks like it had the dog squeeze buffed out of it.
