i enjoy bringing cyber posters together to share something in common, shooting! being retired military, i have a lot of free time to devote to my life long interest, shotgun sports and the people who are drawn to it. i enjoy it so much, that i bought this abandoned range a few years ago, just to have people come out and learn to shoot. it also gives the locals something to do after those long hard days on the farm. i live in va.. so i only visit up to mo. twice a year. so i'd like to offer you all a chance to come meet me at my place for a great little getaway which i promise will be worth your time.
i use to shoot on the navy shooting team, rifle, pistol, and shotgun. i was on the world champion navy skeet team that won gold in san antonio back in the 90's. i know the game.
to make your visit to the ftf meet worth the trip, im offering free instruction and coaching to new shooters.
i will open my clubhouse for free as well.
the clubhouse is knotty pine, has running water, toilet, heat and ac.
it has a kitchen, so anyone is welcome to use it to cook. i cant cook for you guys....i'll be teaching on the range, so if you want to bbq or eat grub, bring your own food and cook it yourselves. i also supply coffee to all shooters for free.
the range parking lot is big enough for campers. i dont have sewage, but i do have free electricity and free water hookups on 2 spots. bring your extention cords and potable hoses. so if you want to bring a camper to save on motels, park for free. pitch a tent too if youd like. I have 4 primitive camp sites with fire pits, benches, and garbage cans available for free. I provide cut firewood for free as well.

weather is always the stick in the mud, so we all really do need to plan this as a weekend event. banking on one day is a gamble. so plan it as a weekend getaway and enjoy some of the sites around here if it rains. if you can get here friday, it will give us wiggle room. if you leave monday morning, even better. but i understand most of you must return for work. unless you don't mind shooting in the rain, we will shoot sunday if one of the days is a washout.

the groups that come to these 3 day events suggest the ticket be 50.00. they also recommend that you bring 3 (90 count) cases of clay targets for your match entry fee.
many pitch in to make the trophy free and many pitch in to give free prizes to winners. the more people give, the more the winners win. we will gladly receive any other donated items needed to hold the meet, like spare tickets, cases of clay targets, donations to maintain machines, etc...
this match is designed for beginners to get a feel for the sport on a budget. i will shepard you thru the basics to the 5 different games for free.
of course if youre a skilled shooter, come as well! but to ensure there are no ringers, the top score must shoot against the resident pro in the last free event if they want to win the trophy; shot on the 50yd line in proxy for last place. if i win, last place wins the match trophy. high score wins the donated prizes. so dont be scared away over a match due to a lack of skill. its a lot of fun.
and when the meet is over...we all attend a dutch steak dinner at the local pub called club 60 in mountain grove, mo.. it goes well into the night.

so get out there in the ftf forums and send people this direction.

---------------------------------------

for those choosing to come, heres your bug out list................


* shotgun, 12ga or 20ga. must have shoulder stock. must be in working order. suggest pump, semi, o&u, or sbs.
* interchangable chokes both IC & FULL. SKT will be fine too. if you dont have a gun with interchangable chokes, bring two shotguns...one with a full and one with a skeet or IC choke in it.
* 10 boxes of ammo, 7 1/2 or 8 shot.
* 3 cases of walmart clay targets
* ball cap
* rain gear
* safety glasses, clear or smoked. (I have some you can borrow for free)
* shell pouch if you have one. (dont buy one, i have some you can borrow for free)
* ear plugs, not ear muffs. those big dorky ones will interfere with your stock fit to your cheek.
* batters gloves. nice but not needed.
* a cover dish for the pot luck
* a 5-10.00 door prize for the winners

---------------------------------------------

for those considering coming, here are the ground rules......

A game is 25 targets. Shoot only 1 shot at 1 target.
Extra targets not allowed, unless one is thrown broken.
Carry only one gauge of ammo when shooting.
Load only when you are on a firing station. Otherwise, keep your firearm unloaded with the action open.
Load no more than 2 rounds at a time.
Load only 1 round on station 8 high house and 1 round for ATA trap.
Don’t swing past the center stake on station 8.

Stop all shooting when a cease-fire is called. Open all actions and unload.

Don’t shoot at wildlife or livestock. Dogs must be leashed and policed.
Don’t shoot if an orange cone, flag, or hat appears on the trap bunker.

No shot larger than #6 allowed on this range.
Children must be kept within arms reach at all times. Infants not allowed on the range. Period.
Children who can not safely hold, mount, or swing a firearm properly, may not shoot.
To reduce the risk of lead ingestion, no eating or smoking while shooting. It is advised to thoroughly wash hands and face after shooting.
You may keep whatever hulls you came with. All others are club property and must remain.
Did i say the rangemasters decisions are final? Good. Just checking.

before i lose internet ability....let me post up whats at stake for your ftf shoots next year if you dont get 10, as a reminder.
things we've discussed over the months tend to drop down and get buried in old topics, so let me bring it up so its not forgotten.
as always, we enjoy having you, but you gotta help make it interesting and worth the trip for yourselves by finding people. once youre here, we do out part, but getting the group is your task. good luck and support astroman.
---------------------------------------
oct 2018:
success
= continue 2019 semi annual ftf events
tickets become 100.00 w/ a 25.00 early bird discount
no clays required.
10 required for an organized party.
no refunds.

failure = drop future oct meets. make ftf meet annual in apr.
3 day event tickets become 100.00 ea.
10 required for an organized party.
no early bird discount.
20.00 match entry fee at the counter.
get 10 signed up in advance, I will drop the entry fee.
I will continue to rake the internet for attendees.
no refunds.

regardless if the event happens or not, I still need to tend the farm, so I will be there. for those that paid for a ticket, and didn't make the minimum, you can still come, but there wont be a program, and....
no 3 day event.
no trophy
no pot luck
no turkey shoot
no 50yd match
no club 60
no prizes.
just come......lease the range for a day and shoot your 10 games.
if you guys want a pot luck or prizes, you can set it up any way you want. i'll just step back and let you run it with whatever you decide on. basically, i'll simply become the banquet hall owner and let you host your own shoot/wedding.

good luck!

I have a definite maybe. A guy I work with really is interested. The kicker is that he won't be able to commit until about a week out. He is an accountant and they have some deadline that is October 15th. If they get done ahead of schedule, say by Oct. 9th or 10th, then he will definitely go. If they are behind schedule, then he will have to work on Saturday the 13th. He won't know where he stands on the workload and the deadline until Oct. 5th or Oct. 8th. For the record, he says that they usually wrap up a little ahead of schedule so he is optimistic he will be able to attend. So he is a strong maybe.o_O:confused:

OK, ITS OFFICIAL.
THE FTF SEMI ANNUAL SHOTGUN SHOOT IS HISTORY.

your silence speaks loudly.
lack of leadership, interest, training, or support has made oct's meet go away into the record books.

hope to see you in april 2019.
