Shotgun shells and Cigars

[mrtr33]

I envy you all, closest B&M (I wouldn't even call it a B&M) near my house is Beverages and More which is 4 blocks away. I never bought sticks from BevMo but there are some good shops about 10-15 minutes away on the freeway. Whats even worse is that there are no gun shops, shooting ranges or even paintball/airsoft shops in the area. It's illegal to have airsoft/paintball guns in the city I live in...

I would not buy cigars from BevMo. Last time I was at the one in your area, They were terribly overpriced, and the humi looked a bit suspicious.

You do, however, have several shooting ranges near you. Two of my favs near you:

On-Target Indoor Shooting Range LLC
27692 Camino Capistrano
Laguna Niguel, CA 92677
You have to go with someone else, they will not let you shoot alone, unless you are military or ex-military. They do have an assortment of weapons for you to choose from.

There is also a trap and skeet range:
400 Calle Bahia
San Clemente, CA 92672
(949) 366-0916
That I really like a lot. Call first. They have set hours, but they are some good old boys, and you never know when one of them are just around the house and wanting to shoot.

Sweet, thanks for the range info. I never bought cigars from BevMo and never trusted them but I guess I could keep it as a end-of-the-world backup B&M, lol.

I just noticed a guy today walking around with a cigar in his mouth. Talk to him and found out he just likes to chew on it while hunting. AT the trap range I don't shoot with a cigar in the mouth. I put it down when it's my turn.

You can't go wrong with a Remington 870. I currently use the 870 for bird and deer. 25 year old gun with no choke or anything. Still does the job.

You ever shoot skeet? I always have to have him do the hi-lows separately. Some of those old guys kill it, though. I'm much better at trap. Asking for one of those hand-pull throwers for Christmas.

Just do trap. If we get enough guys we start to have contest. Who is the fast shot, and such.

Damn. I was thinking of getting back into shooting a little trap real soon. Been playing golf every weekend for about 7 months straight. Tore my bicep monday, so no golf for a while. I really want to trying sporting clays. There's a community called Myrlte Grove being developed about 15 minutes from the house. It's like a golf course community, but it's built around shotgun sports instead.

I have an 870 and a side by side I got from my dad. The side by side is by far my favorite bird and clay pigeon gun. It's shorter, so it's easier to swing. You can pull off two shots much quicker than a pump and still track targets effectively between shots. The second barrel is choked down further as well, assuming your second shot will be at a target further away. It's also very easy to clean.

My 870 is fun as well. I bought an 8 shot tubular magazine extender for it. Just for fun to see what the tactical feel of a shotgun was. I had aspirations of finding a pistol grip and an old barrel to cut down to match the length, but decided against it. 9 shells makes for a very heavy weapon that's slow to swing.
