Anybody into shooting skeet or sporting clays? I haven't been out to Markham Park for a while, but with the weather perfect for being outdoors, I'm thinking of going out there next weekend.

They have a very cool sporting clays trail. I miss most of the clays, and most of the guys out there are 200 years old shooting with $20,000 Krieghoffs and driving thier own custom golf carts, but I enjoy it nonetheless. They call it "golf with a shotgun" so you Know it has to be fun.

I have an old Marlin O/U trap gun. Haven't been shooting in years.

I'm in (but not sure about next weekend...possible!).

Oh, and no "Cheney's"...

Cool. I've got a Remington 11/87 Sporting Clays Edition - it looks good, but needs a better guy at the trigger than me.

Danny_Ocean

Yes, I do much better by throwing the gun at the clays than shooting at them.

Hey I'd be intrested in this... been at least 5 years since I've been there...

Cool. How's next weekend looking (Feb 16-17 or the following since the Coconut Grove Art Festival, the Miami Boat Show and godknowswhatelse takes place that weekend)?

Playing with shotguns. Too cool. I may have a Thompson Contender pistol with a 45/410 barrel by then as a backup.... It's easier to throw at the clays.

As of now, Feb 16/17 looks good. I'm working this weekend and the last weekend in Feb.

There are a bunch of these that cross my driveway daily...I'll practice on them first:

Here's a conflict worth considering:

RM Auctions' Collector Cars of Fort Lauderdale event Friday through Sunday, February 15-17, at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center,

I may go to bid on the '96 Ford Windstar mini-van...

porschedog

I'll be at the auction on the 15th. Sandy will be standing by with a stun gun in case I look like I'm about to bid on the AmphiCar or the Batmobile.

"Don't tase me, babe!!"

A Windstar mini-van??? Swweeeeeet. (I'd buy it just to blow it up)

Juan Lopez

Forget sporting clays, but that minivan and lets shoot at it. I'll bring some handguns !

Danny_Ocean

Is that what she was holding the other day?!? I thought it was your pacemaker...

So...what day for clays?

mrbill_fl

I'm already booked for this weekend (2/16-18), (might be back on monday)

If you guys don't go this weekend, I'm in for next weekend... 2/23-24..

is there anywhere way out west to shoot up old cars (mini-vans) and beer bottles?

edit: just saw: GCR AutoX at bank atlantic on sunday2/24...


I'm open for Saturday 2/23

2/23-24 is looking favorable.

AutoX is a negatory - I'm not eager to burn off the tires I just bought.

There is a place in Dade County that lets you go basically nuts shooting whatever (inanimate) object floats your boat. I've not been there - I'm suspecting there are way too many whackos there.
