I post something almost every day.

 

I am here but I rarely come to this part of shotgun world.

 

If I didn't go to "view new posts" I'd have never seen this. Nevertheless, I'm in SE Kansas and I didn't see my name in the obits yesterday, so I guess I'm still alive.

 

You must be somewhere near Baxter Springs. Ever shoot at Claythorne? I've never been there, but would like to shoot there some day. I've shot at Flint Oak and thought it was fantastic.

Stilwell, KS

 

I'm alive in Lenexa.

I finally got to shoot my new-to-me Verona LX502s this weekend, that was nice. Too bad I had to drive clear out to Osborne to do it, since I don't have a place to shoot around KC for casual clays with friends.

I'm in Independence and, yes, I've shot at Claythorne as well as Flint Oak. Many folks are favorably impressed with the terrain at Claythorne. I, however, am not one of them. Remember, though, that I grew up in Pittsburg and saw the same kind of terrain every day. Now, as to targets, Claythorne does throw some great presentations.

 

I don't think nuclear holocaust has happened. Let me go outside and check. :lol:

 

I just joined the board but I will be posting regularly. Hailing from abilene, KS.

 

Alive and well in Pretty Prairie, KS U.S.A

 

Alive and still shooting in Manhattan.

Dang, I have relations in Manhattan, Kansas...............small world.

Relations with whom? :lol:

 

I'll be moving to the Overland Park area at the end of May. Looks like there is a pretty nice trap/skeet range in the area so I'm looking forward to that.

 

In the Overland Park area, the closest public range is Powder Creek in Lenexa with skeet, trap, sporting clays and Argentine. Saddle and Sirloin is a private club just across the state line in Missouri and requires membership. It has skeet, trap, wobble trap, 5 stand, sporting clays and the only Olympic Bunker trap in the area. A little further east and south is the City of Harrisonville, Missouri public range with skeet, wobble skeet and trap. No sporting clays or 5 stand. For rifle and handgun there is Mill Creek. I has limited shotgun shooting.

 

I too seldom post in this forum, but we are alive and well in Holton, Ks. This time of year is Sporting Clays and some Trap. The clays are mostly at Cokeley's near Delia, KS. (about 15miles from home), and trap at Valley Falls Ks. occasionally. I collect and shoot vintage doubles in 12 and 20gage ( at least one each of McKintosh's "7 Best Guns Made in America"). And for serious work, a Pachmayr Perazzi 20 gage and a Perazzi MX6 in 12 gage. Come on out and join us sometime. We are North of Topeka 30 miles, and Cokeley's is West and South of the Prairie Band Casino halfway between Topeka and Holton. Regards!! Lee. {hs#

 

Thanks. Sounds like a lot of fun.

 

Alive and well in the Air Capital, just haven't been on Shotgunworld in awhile and a haven't posted longer than that.

Been busy following a great Hockey Season...but now that its over I need to get my butt out and shoot some skeet...don't remember the last time I did that.

 

mapanggulo,

Hey, how is retirement treating you?

As I recall from many years ago you were out West somewhere when you retired.

I was in CA at that time and have since called it quits and moved to Iowa.

Road Rat

Retirements not been that bad...do miss the travel and being able to go overseas.
Don't really miss where I retired from though lol. The base was really the issue. Canon AFB really sucked, but I actually liked Clovis, New Mexico.

 

Just joined, Salina/New Cambria KS area.

 

Just joined, McPherson area. Good wealth of information here

 

For all you Kansans...any idea on the status of the Olympic bunker in Valley Center, Kansas? Lost target.com says that there is one but I don't find a website for the place. Is it private? Is it up and running?

 

Sorry, can't help you on that one. The facility at Saddle and Sirloin in Kansas City is shut down for now, but they are talking about re opening it periodically to meet sporadic demand

 

Anyone in the Shawnee county area their are several place to shoot. As was already mentioned Will Cokely at Cokely Farms runs a decent sporting clays course and if you ever need to buy shotgun reloading components or ammo go to him. He has good prices and does not charge sales tax because he is on the Indian reservation. Their is also the honorable representative Ken Cobit who runs a great sporting clays/five stand course and last but not least their is Capitol City Gun Club. Its' shotgun ranges are open to the public and they have skeet, trap, and wobble. They also have rifle and pistol ranges if you are a member.

I have been told that it is private.
