2010 sporting clay fun shoot

[Cody Gruchow]

so i  have been thinking about having another sporting clay shoot for this summer, i have had 2 one in 2008 and one in 2009, so why not 2010? it usually gets a decent turn out. the first year we had to go in 2-3 seperate groups. its a fun way to get out and enjoy a day of shooting your trusty shotgun and meeting other MNO members, maybe having a few at the end and making some burgers, and shoot the bull.

how many people would be interested? i am aiming for a date at the end of july.... any interest?

[Go Big Red!]

Count me in!

[beeker]

[thunderpout]

[deadeye]

My son and I would like to go.  We made it the first year but missed out last year.

[Cody Gruchow]

6 isnt a bad start!

come on people you dont have to be a seasoned sporting clays guy/girl. all skill levels welcome.

[Randy Kaar]

If I could afford it... I would be there! I used to be pretty good at it.

our league rounds are 16$ a pop.. can't  be much more

[HD]

Where would this be held?

[Go Big Red!]

I can't speak for Cody but I think it will be held @ Wild Marsh in Clear Lake, just north of Becker.  For those not familiar, it's half way between Elk River/Rogers and Saint Cloud.

[Cody Gruchow]

yes red that is the place. its pretty close to becker and big lake. closest town is santiago, a really small town. otherwise st.cloud is 20 minutes away

[deadeye]

It's also a short drive from Princeton or Zimmerman.  It's a few miles south of Highway 95.

[HD]

DE...if I got to Princeton...(I'd be coming from the North)...Which way after that?

[beeker]

if your coming across on 95 you just keep headin west until you enter santiago.. then the cross road is... county road????? 7? I think  it's 7? it's about 45 minutes west from north branch.

[Cody Gruchow]

its county road 3? im pretty sure.

otherwise there website is http://www.wildmarshsportingclays.com/

[beeker]

if you can get through princeton with the stupid 95 detour... just follow the signs for santiago and take a right at the gas station in santiago.. it'll take you right there.

[Go Big Red!]

Cody-

Have you decided on a final date for this event?

[Cody Gruchow]

july 17th good for everyone??

[HD]

I got a golf tournament that day....

[Cody Gruchow]

july 24th?

[Go Big Red!]

Supposed to be at a graduation party for wife's side if family.... but we'll see what she says.

[Cody Gruchow]

ok july 31st.....date is fixed isnt moving.

[thunderpout]

Works for me.... though I may get my league rounds in before then... should be fun, hope to get some folks out for some clays that havent tried sporting clays before.... for those that havent tried it, but have shot trap, skeet or even 5-stand, ya gotta give it a go... whole different ballgame & this is the perfect venue to try it with some fellow MNOers that will help & encourage you and give a bit of advise if needed, (not to mention some food & beverages afterwards! ) unlike what you'd get if you went out with the brother/father in-law or your ruthless buddies   Lets get some more MNO folks out to Wild Marsh and have some fun!

[Go Big Red!]

Thanks Cody!!!!!!  It's going on the calendar right now.

[beeker]

sounds cool. I'll try to make sure the date is open. if I can find the time I have an idea for a trophy for us, and I'll see if I can get it together in time. maybe we can make it a traveling trophy or something along those lines.

[Go Big Red!]

FYI:

WM has a Dixie Cup shoot the 24/25 weekend so it wouldn't have worked anyways.

[Cody Gruchow]

ya thats not a bad idea! well im bringing burgers and buns, with a cooler of ice cold brew. any other volunteers to bring 1 or 2 things? plates,chips,ketchup,mustard,etc?

[Go Big Red!]

I'll bring chips, ketchup, and mustard.  please remind me when the date gets closer.

[thunderpout]

Ill bring my plate......   Ok Ill bring plates & utensils if we need em.... (I also will need some reminding!) Thinking bout again doing up Hunter42's awesome secret bean recipe if enough MNO'ers are going this year.... gonna have to do a little chipmunk( ) hunting to get that important secret ingrediant.....

[beeker]
