Re: [MBZ] OT: M*Carbo?

Shot placement is everything.Dad has a Brit SMLE that was converted from .303 to 410 bore. It shoots well with slugs.I should check and see if it's legal here. I know we're not allowed larger than 10ga but I don't recall if there is a minimum. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Sat,

Re: [MBZ] OT: M*Carbo?

I know I could have put meat in the freezer with a 410 slug or with a rifle.  (i'm talking 50 years ago)   The state only allowed 12, 16 or 20 ga slugs.   I had no need for any of those otherwise, until I took up trapshooting.  By then I had lost interest in sitting in a tree freezing and

Spent over two hours shooting clays this morning with folks from work. Did well, dusted a lot of clays, had some quality social time with coworkers. Even got my shotgun cleaned this afternoon after I got home. A beautiful day for it, too, high 70s, no humidity, clear skies. One of our group

Re: [MBZ] OT: M*Carbo?

If I'm judging the holes correctly, your offhand shots with the rifle scored a bulls-eye and a 9. That is indeed impressive! What was the distance to the target? Are the two really big holes from the Mossberg? - Max Charleston SC On Wed, Nov 20, 2019 at 12:20 PM Curt Raymond via

LOL, good thing too. Since he quit smoking my dad has gotten really random. When he bought his Jeep he told me "I saw the color and just had to have it." You have to understand that I'd never heard my dad talk like that before. I'm pretty sure that this is actually an alien replacement. I

Re: [MBZ] OT: M*Carbo?

They claim the reduced trigger pressure will help shooting clays. An 8# trigger is brutal for slugs... If its warm-ish I might try sporting clays on Sunday. Definitely going the Saturday after Thanksgiving to shoot trap, Dad has a BT99 he wants Angie to have. Why her I have no idea... -Curt

Re: [MBZ] OT: M*Carbo?

I haven’t, but I’m going to dust some clays on Saturday morning with a bunch of people from work. Lousy timing as we’re closing on the new house Friday, but I want to take advantage of rubbing elbows with the bosses at the range...I’ve been itching to get out there but haven’t been able to find
