silverdale clay shooting

[vtrguy]

I'm new to shooting clay and just recently bought a 870 Wingmaster. I'm a member @ silverdale but normally shoot my .223 @ 100 yards.

How would I go abouts shooting clays at silverdale? what days would I have to go and what time?

Anyone?

Ask the owner - he's very friendly, and set up the clays the very first time I met him.

Anyone at the counter should know, mind you.

thanks for the help!
can you go anytime during the day? weekends? Or do they only have it at certian times?

 

[cyclone]

I usually go weekends - you may need to ask others about during the week (too far for me on a weekday!)...

i think i may head down there this weekend, test out some 223 loads and than hit up the clays.
thanks!

Cheers!

Warning, its addictive.

FYI, they don't have voice activated releases so you will need to have a buddy around to pull for you.

alright, thanks for the heads up!
I was going to go alone too

Yes it is very addictive.
At the start June I got one of the one step throwers for my b-day and the following sunday I brought it to the range to try out. when I was finnished for the day, so I thought, and had almost completed packing up, people started showing up and I was invited to try a few rounds of skeet.
Well....... that was about four months ago now, after the first time I was hooked, so much so I decided that my Maverick 88 wasn't going to cut it so the following week I went out a bought myself a CZ O/U. Since then I have been back to the skeet/trap range for all but a few weekends. I mean why not? It is a cheap habbit.... er..... hobby, the Lethbridge range is only three bucks for a round of 25 clays.
So yeah, be aware, it is addictive, is it Sunday yet?

You've been warned

hahaha
I definitely can see how it'd be addictive. I also think it will be so much more fun than shooting @100yards with my target rifle.

Cheers!
