One of the nice things about Flatwater is the opportunity to shoot different guns, possibly with an eye to buying one and possibly not. I have shot strange guns there ranging from a Darne to Fabarms to pumps to a Rizzini. And a memorable 10-gauge, too.

Sometimes this resulted in a purchase, sometimes just an experience.

What would you like to shoot at Flatwater? What have you always wanted to try? (Um, guns, I mean.

) What are you considering purchasing, but have never shot?

I'm bringing my new (to me) 30" Superposed and want to shoot Dustin's 28" Super of the same type. I'll also bring my fine 28" 20g Guerini Magnus if case anyone wants to shoot it.

How 'bout you? What are you hoping someone will bring to Flatwater and would be willing to let you shoot?

I wouldnt mind shooting that sidelever Grant hammergun..again

and if anyone has a SuperBritte, Darne model C, Charlin, Woodward automatic hammerless, a island lock Purdey, or even better yet...a newly built Greener G-gun, I wouldnt mind popping some caps thru those either.

So, if you got em...bring em!

I hope I can get the time off and make it this year.

Beaver Cleaver, 16 Brent?? More like a Haggis blaster. it was sold in the Land of the Kilt, you know. I'm loading up some 2 1/4 low pressure loads for those who would like to shoot the very pretty BLNE Mathers O' Dundee!
Not long now, looking for some Calvados to bring for the curious.
I had my RX7, an 88 convertible, our summer tourer, in the shop today, check up, new belts, new hoses, and a hard wire for the Beltronics stealth radar detector, so no ugly fat coiled cable for them to see. I know there is more and more "instant on" radar, buy if they zap the guy in front of you, well, it will help. North Dakota Highway Patrol, cars are brown, not much help to a Canadian who is tuned in to RCMP white

Nebraska state patrol is white, blue, brown/taupe, silver or gray. Hope that helps.

Thank you, Stack, had no idea the cops had all these HP car colours. Anyway I have cruise control on this car, less likelyhood of drifting over the limit.

I always look for the roof lights and reflective stickers as opposed to color. But it's amazing how many people look for the color alone.

Tiny really wants to shoot a speedgoat. But there won't be any at Flatwater, and they wouldn't be in season anyhow.

Brent, I used to shoot skeet with a guy who shot with a bolt action. He could break the doubles about half the time.

I must have led a really sheltered life, guys, what in heck is a Speedo?
By the way, I found a broad minded Ducks Unlimited member who owns a printshop up here and he will run off 20 posters of the NSSA Skeet girl. Should I declare them at the US Border? Should I bring some to The Flatwater?
What do youse guys think?? Should I get more printed, only 2 bucks CDN apiece.

What some of us use instead of a radar detector.
