Larry I'm guessing there aren't a lot of SxS guns at the Ironman? Thinking about doing it next year. This year on the Thursday before the weekend of the Great Northern I did the $100 all you can shoot with a pretty good sized group of guys. Shot 350 rounds with my Win 23 20 ga. and was physically and mentally whipped when I was done. But believe could do 200 a day. Have an ISIS recoil reducer on my Dickinson 12 ga. and that may be the way I go although the Win 23 obviously works well for me and clays too. Then again I'm not getting any younger...
Getting ready to pack up and go shooting this morning. Yesterday a Sportsman club setup traps and threw clays for youth and new hunters. Very soft targets. At day break the evil trap setters will show up and crank the springs but more importantly use background, sun and trees to make the birds much more difficult. But still shootable, although that is open to debate by some. I do know that it will be a great time, and grouse opener is a month away.
You're correct on that, Cold Iron. The last time I worked a station at the Iron Man, I don't think I saw more than 2 or 3 sxs. There are quite a few of us who live in that part of WI and shoot sxs pretty much exclusively. We shoot SC at both Medford and Wausau, but several of us are usually working the Iron Man as volunteers.
