    The background at Lorain is crazy cool. Very dark even on bright days. The trees are tall and the targets are below the canopy. When I was there it was like standing in the light and shooting towards a black hole.

    Had another good shoot last Friday.

    12 teams on the line pretty much all night.

    we will open a 2nd trap in the future if there are more teams than one trap can handle

    Brad…that is a great place to shoot. In the summer your are sometimes shooting into the dark shade below the canopy of those huge trees. Great pictures. I wish more clubs would post pictures of their events.

    Registered shooting is a small part of the sport.

    I used to shoot at two facilities that had mountains rising far above target flight as backgrounds.
    They were universally felt to be hard to shoot well against.
    I think the above background might be just as bad, if not worse.

    In the past the targets here were very easy to see and the club threw a very good target... It was the place to go to shoot good scores.

    Now as you can see most of the trees have died and target visibility isnt as good. In the daylight in the winter months they are pretty tough to see

    Next shoot is this Friday 3/3

    We've had terrible luck with the weather and this week looks like more of the same with a forecast of rain and wind.

    Club will be open at 515 and first shoot will go out at 630, If the forecast holds true and its raining we will shoot under the porch
