We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

Well, my "Haven't pulled a trigger for 50+ years" record has come to an end with a bang.

A late Father's Day present from my daughter had me firing the four-inch deck gun on the HMCS Haida in Hamilton Harbour.

Thanks to it being a low charge blank, the Burlington Sailing and Boating Club sustained no direct hits. However, there might have been a bit more seagull poop at the time of discharge.

The presentation was very interesting, covering the history of the ship as well and the intricacies of the mechanisms.
 
Flew out to Sask. a couple of weeks ago to help save the canola..

Did our best eliminating several hundred gophers over 4.5 days of shooting

I had a chat with someone that recently had a chance to experience Griffith Island. Sounds amazing. 2300 acres and max 22 shooters. Private chef to cook what you killed. Trap courses in the woods. Becoming a member there makes a normal gun club waiting list look instant. Very limited memberships available (~100) and you need to wait for someone to die or relinquish to try to move up the list.
 
It’s an amazing place , they don’t talk about it much and getting an invitation is not the easiest thing . Tamahack club or Caledon trout club are easy by comparison. But skeet shooting is not a priority at either of those clubs .

That’s not awful , cheaper than a Krieghoff or Kemma. DTII is a very well made gun , you can break targets with a Stevens you bought for a hundred bucks , you just can’t break two hundred thousand of them .
