The Mosin Minute Episode 152: Shooting Clays at Garland Public Shooting Range, Part 1

Howdy yawl! It's Duckhunt time, hence the music. This is part 1 of 2, shooting clay pigeons at Garland Public Shooting Range, the CHEAPEST place to go to shoot clays or traps withing the DFW metro area. For a mere $10 (which covers access to the entire range), you can go shoot the crap out of as many clays as you can eat! My good friend has never shot clays before, so we had a wild and crazy time shooting on this part of the range. Gun is a Winchester Defender 1300, bought back when you could still go to a monthly sidewalk sale and buy one from a private owner. That's kinda rare now...

This was just the 2nd trip to GPSR in almost 2 years for me, if you can believe that. GPSR has been under the gun (pun intended) for years now from a neighbor that was built down range...many years AFTER GPSR had been established, the range has been in business since the 50s. For most of the last 2 years, you couldn't shoot .30 rifle ammo or larger, so for a Mosin Nagant collector like me, that pretty much made the range useless for me. Now that they have gotten the range compliant, .30 caliber is okay...but I just discovered that they are planning to relocate to another place, the City of Garland and the NTTA apparently are trying to claim the land via eminent domain. They will get to relocate apparently, so I guess I should get my time in on the range will I can. Jeez.

Things get a bit crazier in Part 2, where you finally get proof that a person can hit 2 clays with one shot. Granted, the clays were flying in tandem close together, but hey, not complaining.
