    I found these at Gun City. 100 shells for $39.99!

    I'm also looking at clay target throwers, since the shells are so cheap I might as well get into some skeet shooting again. Has anyone had any experience with clay throwers like these? I'm trying to keep things on a tight budget here.

    Yeah, they work pretty well, but there's a knack to em. I just about took RM's head off with one...

    haha...I guess that could happen as I intend to have the person throwing the clay behind and off to the side of me at all times so I can't accidentally shoot them.

    Hopefully the clay won't hurt too much. With a bit of practice do those clays go reasonably far? I've got open chokes so the clays don't need to go too far.

    Dunno, probably only threw ~20 of em. I'd say you could throw them a decent 100m with a bit of practice, but it does take an effort. I can't remember being sore the next day or anything, at least.

    Wot he said.
    Once you ket the knack, and it only takes a couple of throws, they work really well. They can be loaded with 2 clays for double your enjoyment.

    Shooting aT LAST

    Off to Taupo this comming weekend for a fun shoot CAS style.

    Been sorting out the firearms and ammo.

    Taking the C & B revolvers with a tin of 2f and 150 ball and 200 caps.

    The rossi lever rifle with 100 rounds of .44 mag

    The S X S coach gun with 100 shells

    The Marlin 336 38-55 with 150 rounds

    The Marlin 1893 34-40 with 50 rounds

    Do you think I have enough?

    This afternoon I need to sit down and cast for the .44 then load. The only caliber I am short of.

    Leaving Friday afternoon, comming back Sunday afternoon. Sleeping rough at the range. Camp cookery.

    Fun

    I figure that 500 + rounds will be enough. Would have taken the 45-70 Springfield also but couldnt get all the longarms into the rifle case.

    Also I only have 50 cases for that caliber so I wouldnt really get a satisfactory buzz.

    As it is I have 3 rifles and a coach gun in a case supposedly built for two longarms.

    This is a "fun shoot" so I should have time to sight in the two Marlins.

    Taking the C & B revolvers as one of my 1873 clones has a problem with the firing pin not striking properly. Light strikes and no bang. Probably have to get new firing pins for them both. ALso I havent shot the percussion pistols for a couple of years. 1st time since I have "antiqued" them.

    200 .451 ball for the C&B revolvers

    125 x .44mag for the Rossi lever

    40 x 32-40 for the 1893 Marlin ( Black powder)

    230 x 38-55 for the 336CB Marlin lever

    Total of 695 rounds made today. Now just waiting to burn powder on Saturday.

    Pistols, rifles and shotgun have all been cleaned and lubricated.

    Got oll the shooting periferals together.

    Tommorow I will pack everything up along with clothes and sleeping bags, ready to pack onto the bike to get to the meeting place.

    From there transfered to a truck and ther 3 of us will be on our way.
