Sounds like one of the best Pa. state shoots we have ever had.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

The link works great ! No need to involve google.

 

I’m looking forward to it! Roy does a great job setting targets and is a really nice guy as well. Should be an awesome shoot.

 

Sorry, I don't own a Krieghoff so I won't be shooting.

 

What does that have to do with anything?

 

Target quality was great. Some minor glitches and some room for improvement, but the targets were great. It was a great state shoot.

 

Targets were excellent. Course layout was very good. Only one food truck for a state shoot was a big let down. Having the side by side and pump shot gun events on the preliminary course was not a good idea. The small gauges, side by side and pump are always together. Signs at each event would have helped. The building which was used for dinner and trophy’s was dark and hot. No one could here the speaker.

 

Damn wish i'd seen this before the weekend! Would've like to have gone just to use WInscore again.

 

Great event! The targets were excellent and I definitely walked out of there a better shooter. The only thing that I could hope for next year is that sub gauge events be on the calendar starting Thursday. Otherwise, I look forward to coming back next year.

 

Subs on Thursday would have made for a better event. It does require additional labor costs, but I could have gotten more subs done without feeling rushed. I think it would have increased participation.

 

It was a good shoot. The only thing I did not like was all the 8 bird stations.

 

Just curious what you prefer.
A lot of our local shoots still have 10X10 stations, with a few starting to have 8X10 and 2X10, or 8X11 and 2X6 which is much preferred.

 

What are 10x10, 8x10, 8x11, etc?

 

Ten stations, 10 targets or 5 pairs at each one, which is a grind. The others are 8 stations with 10 targets, plus 2 stations with 10 targets, or 11 stations with 8 targets, and 2 stations with 6 targets.

Obviously more work for the club to have more stations, but really enjoy more variety and not having to shoot 5 pairs of the same targets.

 

So what’s the difference between 10x10 and 8 stations with 10 targets and 2 stations with 10 targets???

 

I think all large shoots should have at least 15 stations which is 10 six bird stations and 5 eight bird stations. 14 station courses are a grind.

 

Most of the courses I shoot have 12 stations, some have 14 and a very few have 15 stations. I like having 15 stations, I like the variety. Plus it’s easier to forget a bad station with 15 of them.

 

Dropped by Stoney Creek for a practice day. Had a nice chat with the owner. He did a great job with this years shoot and has some really good ideas to improve for next year. Class act. I really enjoy shooting there.
