Bring your Shotgun to Work Day! (30 April 2009)

I have been promising several of y'all some Skeet and Trap shooting at Brunner Range. Please let me know if Thursday at 1530 works for everyone. Cost is around $5.00 a round plus ammo, with International students on the house. If you have a Shotgun of any type, bring it as I only have one pump shotgun suitable for skeet. Brunner Range sells ammunition in most common Shotgun Gauges/Calibers and has appropriate safety gear if required. If you wish to bring your own ammo, remember that Brunner does not have any power restrictions (3" and 3 1/2" Magnums are OK) but that the shot can be no larger than # 7 1/2 (NOTE: If you are bringing a gun with your own ammo and haven't shot for a while, remember that shot size is inverse to the shot number, so the larger the number, the smaller the shot size, i.e. For Brunner Range anything numbered between #1 and #7, Bad; anything between #7 1/2 and #10, Good! If the Ammo Box has the words "0", "00" "Buck", "Turkey", or "Large Game" and "Shot" in the same sentence printed on it, run away! ). If you wish to bring your kids and you trust them to shoot with supervision and instruction, there are semi-auto youth shotguns available for rental, as well as 20 Gauge ammo and the appropriate safety gear. I plan on bringing along my son James. If your children are not into skeet but are into Archery, there is > an archery range adjacent to the skeet range. Let me know if there is a requirement for Archery; if there is I will bring a coupe of youth bows and some arrows. Let me know if this time/date works for everyone and if you wish to attend.

Sincerely,

Rick
