ChasingBlueSky 0 #1 December 7, 2004 Nope - this isn't a contoversial post, but figured I could get the answer in this forum. I'm going Skeet shooting for the first time this weekend. They also mentioned 5 stand???? Someone want to tell me what that is? Also, anything I should know before going? I am only used to indoor 75 yard ranges with handguns and the occasional rifle. Any good websites? I can't wait to go. I used to go shooting (before jumping) a few times a month and haven't really gone too many times since I started to jump. Looks like I may have found something to do during the winter!_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

AggieDave 6 #2 December 7, 2004 Its a type of skeet shooting. Basically a field of five shooting stations lined up about 10-15ft apart with around 5 target launchers. You can put a combination of five targets 25 total through the spread and they can be thrown one or two at a time. Just a different "game" within skeet shooting. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like I may have found something to do during the winter! If it's your first time skeet (clay pidgen in english)shooting, a few tips that always worked for me. Follow the skeet (looking down the barrel/s with both eyes open) aim about 18-24" ahead an squeeze. Never fire at a skeet if it drops to low More fun if they have a multipule trap Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #6 December 8, 2004 Well I find it hilarious... and my spelling appalling at the best of times. A pun within a pun you might say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #7 December 8, 2004 Its 'clay pigeon' in English. Pidgen (or pidgin) English is a bastardised form of English, quite often using simplified or badly spelled words. Just an innocent wee error that made me chuckle.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Zep 0 #8 December 8, 2004 Oops..... Sorry about that (pidgen) For the last 15 years I've hardly written anything in English (or spoken English) I did'nt think I'd need the spell check for that one edit: got pidgen wrong again Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #9 December 8, 2004 Och, its really no biggy, word play like puns and such like almost always make me smile, and I had to check the spelling on pigeon.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
