Where to go on 4 day weekend? Anybody familiar with Marfa area?

Verdict is reached and M. Sage kicked my ass in skeet, was fun though. Wife snapped these.

I wouldn't say "kicked your ass". I was shooting around 50%, and still have a lot to learn. But still better than I was last time - I was breaking 'em from station 4 (finally). The autoloader vs pump definitely was a help on pairs.

Try sporting clays. I think it's more fun.

It's like golf with a shotgun. You have 10 to 20 stations / holes. Each has a different layout, and different shot angle: rolling across the ground, crossing left, crossing right, toward you, away from you, straight up, dropping over trees into you, etc.

It's pretty cool. $35 a round here locally.

Don't know if it's available here locally. Some ranges might not be cool with me shooting clays at their ranges because my shotgun could offend the sensibilities of some purists. I'm using my 3 gun tacticool SLP Mk 1...

I'll look into it, though. Breaking clays is fun, and anything I can do to get better with my shotgun is always welcome.

Does anyone know where I can go camping and plink around? Been looking for a spot to do that and be isolated enough to target shoot.

Look into Sam Houston National Forest.

I tend to gravitate to sand and surf. But this weekend I went to the valley for a family function....

I know I shot better than that last time I went, and after shooting your semi auto you've got me itchin lol. Father in law just got a new Weatherby SA-08 for bird hunting so hopefully I'll get to try that out.

I think it's Winchester and Browning both have hunting-oriented versions of my shotgun. IIRC, it's the SX-2 and Browning Silver. And I think they come without that big cantilever M1913 mount that acts kind of like a rear sight.

The SLP ran me $1100.

I'll look into it, need to learn more about shotguns anyways like I said earlier I haven't a clue about different choke options other than they affect patterns and what not.

AFAIK, that's about all they do. There are a ton of chokes out there, and the "better" ones are supposed to throw more even patterns, but I have no idea if that's true. When my game is on, I can run with the guys whose shotguns are all tricked out (with the high end extended chokes) at 3 gun.
