SHOOTING GEAR
- Ear Muffs and Eye Protection will be strictly enforced!!!
- Bring any of your own weapons and the necessary ammo.
- Bring a card table and chair, or a blanket to lay your weapon on when not shooting. Weapons may not be stored on loading tables.
- Bring any ammo of a particular caliber that you might want to shoot, even if you don't own that caliber. The idea is to have an opportunity to try out a new weapon or an old favorite that either you don't own, or one that your wife won't let you own. Bring the ammo of the weapon that you would like to try so that no financial burden falls upon the generous lender of the particular weapon.
- Suggested Ammo:
- Everybody should bring at least one "brick" of .22 cal. ammoe. (That's 500 rounds). We recommend that you stay away from the super high-powered ammo!!! i.e.: Viper.
- Everybody should bring at least five boxes of 12 gauge shotgun shells, approx. #7-8 shot. A case is often used by a serious shot gunner.
- If you would like to participate in the shotgun bowling pin competition, you will also need to bring a few boxes of #4 shot. Anything smaller (5-9 shot) is too light and can bounce back off the pins.)
