Winter is here

Well winter is here again, or it's at least very close. Hoping to get at least one more outing in but the weather doesn't seem to want to cooperate. We did manage to get out to the farm a couple weekends ago to fire off a few rounds. Mostly just cleaning out what we had left of clays. Another gun has been purchased by a member, I'll likely get more into what it is once we start doing some UGI gun reviews.
It should be understood that these will not be traditional reviews. They will be our reviews. Meaning it'll be about how we feel about the gun, and well... not totally sure. I just know our aim won't be to have a typical review. (gun pun)

Labor Day Shooting Extravaganza!

Well I supposed it'd be more accurate to say Labor Day Weekend Shooting Extravaganza. First some numbers:  3 .22 Rifles, 3 handguns, and 4 Shotguns. We fired off a couple hundred .22LR rounds, about a hundred 9mm, a handful of .45ACP, I'd guess somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 12ga shells, and a lot of dead clays.

Not all games were scored, in fact most weren't. After a bit of warm up, and just shooting around really, we were ready for Round 1. A simple trap shooting round, each took turns shooting 5 times each, till we had shot 25 times. Here are the results:

Round 1
	Mike	Drew	Jeff	Scott	Anthony
Total	16	8	25	18	23
Perfect	1	0	5	1	4

As you can see Jeff and Anthony cleaned shop. I should mention that what we call a perfect is 5/5 in a turn. The next round we introduced an idea my brother came up with last time we were shooting. A second shooter. If the first person misses then the second gets a chance at the clay and it is worth 2 points if hit. The second shooter would rotate so that everyone got a chance to "clean up" after everyone else. 

Round 2
	Mike	Drew	Jeff	Scott	Anthony
Hit	22	11	25	15	19
Bonus	10	2	12	4	6
Perfect	3	0	5	0	1
Total	32	13	37	19	25

This round I did a lot better, very happy with that, even before the bonus points. Once again Jeff dominated. This was a lot of fun and definitely added a neat twist to the scoring. After this Anthony and his dad left and we decided to have a "chair game" quite simply we lined up the chairs, each took a seat, and one person worked the thrower. This was an absolute blast, if you'll pardon the pun. Much laughter was had by all.

Next event was a little "GET OFF MY LAWN!!!" I've got videos of that. The semiauto shotgun didn't seem to fare to well at this event. But brother Scott was a fast as ever on his Mossburg. That brief event out of the way we moved on to some target shooting with the .22 bolt action. Here are the results:

Once again Jeff wins. I was a decent second though. I'll be working on uploading some videos later, so at the very least you'll know what get off my lawn is.

First post

     Here it is, I'm finally working on it. The official UGI Gun Club blog. But what can you expect to see here you may be wondering. Even if you're not I'm going to tell you. I will be updating this blog (hopefully regularly) with what we are up to in our impromptu club. The stats from our "official games" and I hope some fun stories and videos.

     Currently we only have two games on record, and those games only had two members present. None the less, we kept score so they are official. I will be posting the scores from those games soon.
