This is from 2012....Me and my Daughter and my friend Howard, who has since passed on. He had cancer and lost his one leg to it. He shot pretty well from the wheelchair. Its quite a disadvantage. If you don't think so, take a chair out to the 16 yard line and give it a go.

He shot a really nice Perazzi with a release trigger. My Daughter had a Browning XT and I had a Browning as well. I always shot the unisingle.
We had a lot of fun together and this club is only 5 min from where we both lived. We spent many an afternoon there.
When we were not shooting trap he and I shot a lot of rifle, and quite a bit more sh!t.....we sure had fun.

My daughter and I both shoot Bullseye pistol now.

Looks a lot like my avatar.......

I was President of The North Bay Skeet & Trap Club when we almagamated it and The Rockcut Shooting Club under one roof and undertook construction to add two more regulation trap fields, two regulation skeet fields, involved in the renovating the clubhouse, facility improvement grants and construction. I ran the bulldozer to level the trap and skeet fields and overshoot portion of the range not to mention alot of other improvements. We had a good core of members that contributed greatly.

Man that’s familiar! Looks like you must be doing pretty good, upscaled to a snowblower. Are the sump pumps checked out and ready for spring?

WE have a snowblower now but there's still lots of shovelling. The sump pumps have been retired and replaced with a drainage system. Brand new Pat trap on the way for the spring PITA shoot. We're moving up in the world.
 
Here's me shooting clays with a 6" barreled 12 gauge handgun.

Well that looks like fun for sure and not trying to be a jerk but that is not actually skeet shooting....that's shooting at hand thrown clay targets. How does the recoil feel with that handgun?!

This is actual skeet shooting. The video quality isn't that great it was done with an action cam mounted to my barrel. The technology of the day was not that great, not like todays! LOL

18675233[/URL]]those skeet birds look very high......even for the high house....

I've never seen them put through a hoop to set them. Also our field is a real optical illusion. It appears to sitvup above much of the surrounding landscape in the overshoot direction on the high side of the field so it makes the high house look high as the target doesn't cross any background so it's skylighted well. The low side on the other hand is below the treeline making the low house targets appear as if they are springing teal! The skeet shooters at our club are a pretty informal bunch and aren't concerned with regulation set targets, lol. I don't think they would be off by much though however the high house machine is in such disrepair the elevation adjustment crank handle is seized and you have to place or remove a wedge to set heights. We are going to have to replace the machines sooner than later as we've exhausted the parts supply from the spare parts machines. Trouble is we only have about two to four guys that shoot skeet weekly so there isn't much revenue on the field for replacement machines.
