Karma: 0
Hello everyone!
This is Bob Armentrout from the Middle Tennessee Z Club and the Smoky Mountain Z Club; some of you have probably met me (and if you don't remember me you may well remember Millie the Basset Hound as she usually makes a bigger impression on people than I do!) at your spring car show or ZDayZ of ZAttack! Anyway, MTZC is putting together an event in April that I wanted to let you know about...please take a look at the details below and please feel free to ask any questions you may have!
Thanks!
The First Annual Spring Cruise and (clay) Pigeon Shoot!
I think all of us are ready for spring and getting our babies out of the garage and/or cleaned up after some winter driving and this is a perfect excuse to do just that.
Whether you are an experienced clay target shooter or have never shot a shotgun and whether you are a guy or a gal, you can have a lot of fun at this event - no one needs to feel "left out" (there will be some basic instruction for those who are totally new to the world of clay pigeon shooting).
Of course, you can bring your own shotgun but for those who need it, appropriate shotguns can be rented on site and ammunition and other items are available for sale.
WHEN: Saturday, April 10, 2010
WHERE: Montgomery County Shooting Complex
PLEASE RSVP: We must have a headcount so the complex can properly prepare for us (and because there is a maximum number of shooters the complex can handle) so please RSVP with your name and telephone number to Bob Armentrout either by email at "

SCHEDULE:
Meet at Bob Evan's Restaurant at Opryland/Music City Drive (200 Rudy Circle). If you want to have breakfast I'd plan to arrive no later than 9AM. Otherwise, plan to get there about 9:50AM as we'll leave Bob Evan's at 10AM sharp.
Cruising for about an hour and a half on back roads to arrive in the Clarksville area at about 11:30.
We'll be at the Clarksville stop (specific spot TBD) from about 11:30 until about 12:15 - this will give you a chance to grab something to eat and/or some gasoline for those who need it as well as a chance for folks to join up with us there.
We'll leave Clarksville about 12:15 and spend about another half-hour traveling to the Montgomery County Shooting Complex )4201 Southside Road; Southside, TN 37171).
Our afternoon of shooting will be from about 1PM until about 4PM
Trophies will be awarded for "Best Shooter" of the day and for "Least Threatening to Clay Pigeons" (both based on hit/miss count).
After our shoot; we'll head back to Nashville and we'll stop at a watering hole somewhere along the way for food, beverages and likely a few tall stories about how the wind shifted their pigeon and made them miss!).
COSTS:
Range fee: $5.50
Fee per Round of American Skeet: $5.00 (we'll do two rounds for sure with an option for a third)
Ammunition: You'll need one box of 25 rounds per round of skeet; they sell on site for $7.00/box or, of course, you can bring your own.
Gun Rental: NO CHARGE! The complex is COMPING our gun rental (usually $20/gun) for those who need one.
Assuming three rounds of skeet total cost will be approximately $42.00
WEATHER:
I've ordered a perfect spring day but should the weather disappoint we will cancel (which is another reason we need you to RSVP with a phone number!).
Please feel free to visit our club forum for updates regarding this event!
I hope you can come!!!
While it should go without saying…I'm going to say it anyway!
Alcohol/drugs (and in many cases, prescription drugs) and driving should never mix and that is doubly true when, instead of driving, you are handling firearms. Safety, both while on the road and especially at the shooting complex is absolutely essential and unsafe behavior will not bee permitted.
We want to have a good time and be safe while doing it. We all know that many things we do in life entail risk and that is certainly true of driving as well as when handling firearms. Please understand that participating in this activity is done at your own risk.
