Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

The one we have came from my dad’s cousin, dad inherited some guns from him when he passed and I got the 20 gauge for my wife to bird hunt with.

 

Good afternoon everyone. I have all my training completed and just waiting on a badge for access now. I figure Wednesday at the latest I'll be in there trying to help.
I recognized that clay throwing device right away. Step dad had one when I was a kid. I got a red one now, I think they're fiberglass.
Weather forecast I just watched is saying 8-14" of snow starting tomorrow night into Thursday.

 

What will you do tomorrow, have any plans?

 

I've always liked those Remington 1100 series shotguns. I have one now but not as nice as the originals maybe. I think the wood furniture ones look nicer anyway. The one I bought was mismark priced and I ask if they would sell it for that I'd buy it. It's like 1187 supermag or something. 12ga 3.5" capable.

 

I have to check on my badge in the morning. If it's ready then I'll be able to go on in to work. If it's not, then may be able to hang out close (hotel) so we can run back there and get it when ready.
Tomorrow night they're having a welcome dinner for us at a steak house. Angelo's Chop House is the name of place.

 

New poll






Skeet

 

First vote!

 

I had to vote clay pigeons because that's if I'm not mistaken, what they throw out there at a trap or skeet shoot. And I believe they come out at different places between the two.
I've never done either trap or skeet but knocked a few boxes of them clay pigeons out of the air. With my old Winchester 1200 pump action.

 

We shot em quite a bit when I was younger and things were cheaper. We used the hand thrower and my buddy had one I mounted to a truck hitch we could throw 2 at a time with.

 

There's actually a club / range just a short ways from my house. Like less than 2 miles. A former coworker (my main mentor at the shop I'm in now) used to belong to the club but he had a story, and was very bent out of shape about cheaters....or alleged cheating with a wooden pigeon in the mix. Said they could see the hit and the pigeon get wobbly but no break

 

For structure support, looks like ill have to cut in the middle of the switch. The steel seems solid enough Over 1/16" less than 1/8". Obviously take switch out cut then try to make cutout for the switch.

 

Im not in maine

 

I have a Rikon 10 inch bandsaw I got an Menards a few years ago.. Can't recall the price but it wasn't terrible

 

I thought this one might have been too easy with all the sportsmen here.

Properly called a Remington Automatic Hand Trap.

We always called the targets Clay Pigeons.

Trap is shot with one house in front of and lower than the shooter.
Skeet us shot with two houses, one to the right and one to the left of the shooter.

 

How much more room do you need??

The blade guide is moved as far as it can go??

See what size stock blades that are long enough and adjust your height according. Custom blades are an option if someone local makes them.

 

I rather shoot living targets that get eaten .

I did use the the clay pigeons for hand gun targets two dry wall screws hold them in place if you can hit them out to 50 yards every time you doing good

Rifle targets 300 yards plus

At least you don`t need to walk to the target and look at your groups

 

I would like that k-30

 

yeah guide is up all the way. Wont go any further. What i need is maybe 1" bigger opening. Im cutting small logs into slices for wood burning etc...i found one i might get later but im a cheap ass. So i figured i could extend it for a lot cheaper...

 

A hand saw would be super cheap
