I have finalized plans for this year’s 16 Gauge shoot. It will be as planned on Saturday, May 19th, at South St Paul Gun Club in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, home of the 2018 Super Bowl!
The cost will be $75 - this will get you 120 targets, lunch and a day spent with the finest group of shotgun folks you could ever wish to meet. We’ll again have an extended lunch break to fondle each other’s toys and visit. Since last year it was 43 degrees with pouring rain we should have much better weather this year. Tough to do worse.
The shooting will include 80 Sporting targets, a 20 target flurry and 20 targets in the pigeon ring. More detailed information to follow. Put in for vacation now because you do not want to miss the premier 16 gauge event on the face of the earth.
Regards,
Jeff |

Great news! Two years ago we had ideal weather and last year was dismal, but regardless, both years it were still a great time! I would encourage anyone even considering to attend, to definitely go! Thanks for your work, Jeff! |

Thanks Jeff! It's on my calendar. Best of all it misses a registered skeet shoot at MGC. Looking forward to it. Happy New Year. Hope you are doing well.

Do the guys bringing truckloads of guns bring racks to display them? At Flatwater we had pool tables to lay them on, looked good with the felt background. |

Show and tell is on picnic tables under an awning or tables on the deck. Both are beside the clubhouse. I bring a blanket to lay them on.
I'm glad your gonna make it this year. Its a great event. |

I'm all up for any shotgun event where we don't keep score, a focus on 16s making it just that whole bit better, and will bring my Auto-5. For the difficult shots. |

Now that I have a year under my belt here in Kentucky I’m penciling the date in. Might bring my father with me if I can meet up with him on the way. |

Might stay the night in Stevens point Friday night (picking up farther) and make the last 3 hours in the morning, what time does it start? I forgot.
That way I can limit my vacation to 1 day and additional cost to gas and shoot. |
