Who wants to join me on Team NFOA?

           NEBRASKA SPORTSMEN’S FOUNDATION

             FIRST ANNUAL TEAM TRAP SHOOT FUNDRAISER

                            SUNDAY OCTOBER 6TH, 2013

      1: OO PM –5:00 PM        LINCOLN IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE

                   1081 South 134th street Lincoln Ne


          Cost is $25 per shooter...5 man teams cost $125.00 and we must register before Sept 23 or the price increases to $160 per team

I will captain the team and shoot Post 1 if I can find 4 other trap shooters that will join me in representing the NFOA at this fundraiser. I will need firm commitments before I shell out the registration fee, so please don't take a spot if you are not sure you can be there. If we have enough interest we can have more than one team, but there is not a lot of time to waste if we want to  lock in the lower team fee.

Skeet would be a lot better.  Don't have a trap gun.

I will take this a step further- For those of us not blessed with the power to consistently hit flying orange objects, How about we put together some funds for these fine gentlemen/ women?
I for one will sponsor DanW's entry fee- $25.
And if we happen to gather more than the entry fee, we can sponsor some ammo.

To keep this monies separate - contact me directly either post here or by PM. 

LET'S SUPPORT TEAM NFOA!!

My daughter would like to shoot for team NFOA.  I would also shoot but would just pull the team score down.  It's more difficult to hit those little orange disks than it looks like.

PS. you don't need to have a "trap" gun, any shotgun you are comfortable with will work.

Ha! That would be awesome. In all seriousness, though, I've shot trap with a Mossberg 930 JM Pro (set up for 3-gun competition). The only bad thing about it is that it flings hulls at the guy next to you. So, I bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Birchwood-Casey-Save-It-12-Gauge-Semi-Auto/dp/B001U9YK8I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1378487040&sr=8-2&keywords=shell+catcher
and the problem was solved.

Anyway, good luck to team NFOA!

You wouldn't want me shooting a shotgun at a flying clay target.  Not at all.

Well, unless you wanted some comedy occurring.

thanx gsd    COME ON FOLKS. DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO SHOOT SOME CLAY FOR A GOOD CAUSE?
It looks like me and my trusty ol Mossy 500 are going to have to step it up.  Heck, Dan is gonna have to give me crash course in trap shooting.  I'm  not the guy that should be representing Team NFOA in a shotgunning match, so somebody PLEASE step up.  As of right now I have three entry fees covered by donations, so most likely you'll bring gun and ammo and just shoot.

FLY, GONNA NEED SOME HELP HERE!

As in me shooting trap? I've done that twice in my life and I sucked at it.  Besides I'm out of town for work that week.

Or did you mean you need help in the form of incessant whining?  THAT I can do.  ;D

Come on folks!  Do you own a shotgun?  Do you shoot trap or even bird? Then help Dan out and get a winning team together.  Make us proud!

The only two shotguns I have are set up for home defense / multigun competition.  A 20" barrel with rifle sights and an 8 round tube probably isn't ideal for trap ;D
