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.

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 .
