Well,it's almost time for sporting clay leagues to start. How many people out there shoot clays? I shoot in one league at Wild marsh and would probably be on another team if I get the chance. I'm also going to try to do some registered shoots. I spent all winter reloading shells and I'm ready to unload them! I started out shooting trap about 15 years ago. I got on a team where I was working to get to be a better shot for hunting. Well, thousands of rounds and 2 shot apart guns later, I still miss birds.
I shot sporting clays for my first time 1991 and have been shooting this game ever since. About 17 months ago, I had surgery for a detatched retina in my left eye. I've recovered almost completely but couldn't shoot any gun for over a year.
I'M READY TO GO!
Ok, I threw the first topic for our new forum, let's get the ball rolling.

Thanks, Scotty

Golf with a shotgun. I thought this about gonna be about the exhibition shooter Tom Knapp. He shoot hand thrown golf balls with a shotgun. I did try to shoot golf balls like he did and if can connect like you do on the green they can really GO. However because of my job I am not in a league of any sort but once I do get a different job someday that what i plan to do. I do get my share with shooting clays with just friends or just me and my son. Just like rifle rounds I just buy the cheapest shells for this type of shooting. I can pick up a case of 12 ga. for about 30 - 35 bucks a case at Cabela or Gander Mountain. Cant wait for warmer weather to arrive. I dont like the looks of those Benelli guns just sitting there. Getting an itchy trigger finger! Have fun and shoot safe! Brian

Hey Scotty,
Great new forum! I spend more time shooting in the summer than fishing.....not sure if that's good or bad?

Are you going to shoot the Mid Winter 300 this next weekend? I will be shooting for Del-Tone Luth. I shoot at wild marsh a few times a year but mainly at Del-tone and other places.

Looking forward to Sat and to future topics on this new forum grin.gif

Tv Boy, thanks for joining our new forum. In the past few years I didn't even fish, too busy shooting. I'm trying to get back. I spent last year recovering from my eye surgery, but this year I plan on making up for it. Over the winter I reloaded every empty case I could find. The shoot you mentioned, where is it and when is it? Right now I don't care what game it is as long as it involves a shotgun and flighting targets. I check the wild marsh HSOforum everyday to see if they have posted the starting dates for their leagues, nothing so far. The guy who sponsers the team I shot on in 2002 hasn't called yet. If I don't hear from him soon I will sponser my own team.
Get back to me with that date please.

Thanks, Scotty

Benelli-dude, sorry I didn't mean to mislead you with the topic name. Sporting clays is sometimes discribed as "golf with a shotgun" Have you ever met Tom Knapp? I got to see him shoot once at a fund raiser and I sat with him a couple a years at our local Pheasants Forever banquet. Great guy! Any body that owns a Benelli should see him shoot.

Yes I have met Tom Knapp. Great guy as well as a great shot. Got to see him perform 3 times now and will again this year up here at Warroad. Last year I took my boys ( 2 and 4 yrs old ) and they loved it. Took a couple of pictures of them with him. Kinda neat! I got a few of his videos and they like to watch them once in awhile. Even had him autograph my Montefeltro which he was more than honored to do. That guy is unreal as far as what he can do with a shotgun. If anybody ever gets a chance to see him you'll know what I mean! Brian

Scotty,
It is a 2 day event. The first day you shoot 100 targets at Wild Marsh ( they have doughnuts/ coffee for the shooters) then everyone drives up to Rice Creek where a lunch is served and you shoot another 100 targets. Sunday is out at Del Tone where they spred their course out over their entire trap range.

It used to be a 400 but I don't know why Rum River no longer participates.

Call wild marsh or Paul Braun @ DelTone Luth. There is a traveling trophy for the Club with the best team. It is a fun shoot! weather is always a factor, usually one of the days it is cold and windy.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
