that's funny stuff right there.
I grew up in Leander, but have been gone for many years. The Leander that I knew had an Exxon Station, and a little convenience/ food store on 183 and not much of anything else.
Prolly would get lost if I went back.

the exxon is still there, but that about the only thing that has not changed in the last 15 years. the growth of that whole area is unbelievable. i remember when cedar park was not really even a town, now they have something like 2 5A high schools.

Yep, actually 2 of them. My neighbor Chris is a lefty and after shooting Marc and gr_elliot's guns we went to Sportman's Warehouse and they had a lefty model there for him in stock.

Nope, He is a research guy so he has to make sure he is paying a price in line with where it should be. I have a feeling he might get one in the next couple of months. He really liked shooting you and Marc's guns. So did I, but I'm after a Beretta X2.

Yeah those triples were fun. Seems like that was the only way to really add a challenge to it since all the shots were pretty easy trap type shots.
If we had a way to have clays going from right to left or left to right that would make it a lot harder. Maybe we should try that 5 stand next time.

Yeah, I'd be up for a round of 5 stand.
I wonder how the range would feel about us taking a wrench to move the throw angle on the far left and right throwers. We could get some crossing, but the origination point would still be in line with where you were standing.

Re: Bustin' clays in austin (leander)

I bet they wouldnt like you moving them around, they are pretty picky about stuff, as they should be a I guess. i wish I had some land lined up just to bring our own launchers and sit around and drink a beer or two after shooting.

See that's the kind of thing I would just do on my own and then switch it back when we are finished. It's not really a big deal and as far as I'm concerned I'd rather do it and have to say sorry than ask and them say no.

It was a blast, pardon the pun. Look forward to going again. 
And yes I may hold out for the Benelli.  It is killing me to not just go get the one I saw at Sportsman's SBE II for $1199.00 
How does one get that bonus you're about to get?

Exactly my thoughts. Ask for forgiveness.
I think we should try to go out at least once each in July and August before Dove Season opens.

Was that SBEII used? I guess if it were black, no comfort tech then maybe but I still can't see it being that cheap. I saw a black one at Academy today for $1399.99. First time I've seen them at Academy. Looks pretty sweet but IMO the Max4 one is just so badass that it's totally worth an extra $100.

By the way I have a buddy who "won" a SBEII left handed a few years ago. He didnt want his wife to get pissed so he told her he won it. Amazing how they had a left handed model to be given away isnt it.
Dude broke his wrist in a gator mishap and now he can't shoot at all because his wrist is still messed up. Hopefully by hunting season.

The guy behind the counter stated it was a model from last year, which is why the low price. The barrell length is 24", which may also have something to do with the price.

Re: Bustin' clays in austin (leander)

Yeah I could get a 26" and live with it but not a 24"...that would be strange. I really like my 28". For years I'd shoot my dad's 30" Win Model 50 so I grew to really like long barrels. I had a shorter pump that I never really liked...mostly because it was a pump.
I feel like the longer barrels give me a smoother swing. I guess a shorter barrel could give you a faster swing.
