Or you're just joking.....
Sounds interesting... I've never tried it, and my Huglu 12ga. has only had about 20 rounds through it over the last 4 years... I'm normally out of work by 2.....

Pick up a few hundred rounds of the Remington Gun Club Target Loads (must be 7.5 shot or numerically higher, I use the 12ga, 2 3/4 inch, 2 3/4 dram - it's something like 1185fps - #8 shot) and come out. PM me and I'll give you my phone number.

I say to get those rounds because they are the cheapest I've seen if they're still doing the rebate (works out to $5/box of 25rds after rebate). Otherwise the Federal bulkpacks at Walmart are also a good deal at what works out to $5.50/box.

The only thing is, if you work in Norfolk, will you get from Norfolk to Yorktown with any meaningful amount of daylight left?

I'm going whenever lol. I'm still on vacation this week. Club doesn't allow shooting shotguns by yourself, so I need at least one other person to shoot with me. Whenever you want, I'll load up my gear and head to the range (takes me about 30-40 minutes to get there).

The Dick's in Williamsburg has the Remington Gun Club for $5 after mail in rebate. You have to buy it 10 boxes at a time to get the mail in rebate though (it's $5.99/box if you buy 10 boxes, and then $1 per box mail in rebate in 10 box quantities, so you buy 10 boxes for 59.90 and then get a $10 mail-in rebate, making it 10 boxes for $49.90 which works out to $4.99 per box).

You all suck. I'm bored. Someone must be unemployed and own a shotgun.

I'm going to clean the guns I shot yesterday, and then head to the range. If someone wants to come out today, PM before I leave.


Alright, I've left. If someone sees this I won't be able to check my PMs at the club. You can come out and take your chances if you want. If it's still bright out, I'm probably there. Look for an old blue Mercedes. I'm bringing my shotgun just in case someone shows up.

Lafayette Gun Club, on Dare Rd off 17, first right after the church (there's a sign).

Bueller?

I'm leaving for the club in a few. I have range officer duty on the rifle range starting at 4, but will be free to shoot shotguns before then. If you see my car but nobody shooting in the lane where it's parked, just ask someone to let you inside because I'll be shooting indoors at least part of the time.

Given Marlinspike's posting history I suspect this could be a terrorist recruitment attempt.
