In a nation that can stoop to politicizing science, anything seems to
be fair game. It's not as if most Americans care if their own beliefs
are true or not. BS is king and con men of all stripes are having a
grand and glorious time.

and in the past, this NG has been reflective of the worst of of the
polar politics has to offer.

We have made great inroads in rec.boats in agreeing to disagree, so
maybe it is possible for America to turn from the dark side.

When I shoot sporting clays, it is at a regulated range. There's only
one shooter up at a time, and all the shots are FORWARD.

SC stations at many ranges are often no than 30 yards apart with swings
approaching 180 degrees. You DO NOT shoot sporting clays.

Sorry, there are no 180-degree side to side swings at the range I visit.

Here is one of the ranges I shoot:

Check out the 360 degree tour of their gun room, one of the best in the
country. Many of those guns hanging in that safe have values in excess
of $50,000.

BTW, folks travel from all over the world for gun instruction by Michael
Murphy.

When we are at the informal range, everyone except the shooter(s) stays
well back. We're all experienced shotgunners.

BS. The bird triggers are usually AT the shooting station.

Gee, you've been in my shotgun closet and you've apparently been out on
my friend's "farmette" out on the Shenandoah so you could inspect our
"informal" range. And I thought the conditions of your bond wouldn't
allow interstate travel.

Again, what gun do you use for SC?

What do you use for target practice...prairie dogs?

Oh...and since I haven't published a list of the shotguns I own, you
wouldn't have a clue as to what shotguns I use for sporting clays.

Sorry Harry, you're wrong. Remember telling him about the slug gun?

Harry's out furiously trying to find the difference between rabbits,
rockets, and birds.

Sometime I'll tell you the 'safe' way to put a lot of quail on the dinner

Cheney is an experienced hunter. He should know better.

I would guess the majority of hunting accidents are the result of
experienced hunters making a stupid mistake. A new hunter is so
concerned with following the rules, and not making a mistake, that he is
focusing more on the other hunters than the birds. An experienced
hunter is more inclined to "assume" everyone is following protocol
concerning the hunting line.

You made a comment about when you are shooting clay that only two people
are on the line, everyone else stands behind the hunters. If I went on
a hunt, I would require one person to be standing behind the line, to
let everyone know if someone is rejoining the line or is not following
protocol.

Reggie, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who wanted to go hunting, but
just wanted to be the 'range safety officer'. That would get boring pretty
quickly!

Indeed. As we all know discussions about food and cooking only end up in
arguments and are best suited to be posted at the NG site you posted Doug,
certainly not in a boating NG. ;-)
