In case of rampaging zombies or rioting disappointed liberals, just kidding. We decided to do some prep about 2 years ago and ammo is one of my responsibilities.
naw I'll just run down to Sportsman's Warehouse tomorrow. OOHH the horror of it! See if I can sneak out without Hunny Bunny confiscating all my credit cards >:D
I still want to get involved in sporting clays just waiting till I get a decent over/under. My Mossberg 500 will work but it lacks the the versatility of an over/under. I used the 500 in the orientation my club offers , in watching others I realized I was working at least twice as hard as those with over/unders. Plus you have to load the first shell directly by hand into the breech when you step into the box/cage (don't know it that is everywhere or just a club rule), then of course you have to pump quickly on the doubles I've been looking seriously at a CZ CanvasBack which are under $800.
I've long wanted to set up an area to practice at home with my bow. It is legal until a neighbor complains, then I'll have to quit. I'm using my shed as a back stop with a piece of plywood to protect the shed for now. I guess I better get hay bales to place behind the target. The plywood only came into play once today and the arrow almost went through a 3/8" sheet of plywood.
In another forum I frequent (CTD) there is a 15 year old guy who wants to know about apprenticing with a gunsmith in the Mass/NE area. He wants to find out if it is something he'd like before he invest in a formal education, such as the school in Colorado. Any ideas of these type of opportunities in his area you New Englanders?
