Fairbank Rod and Gun Club

Today was the second turkey and bacon shoot at Fairbank rod and gun club.  I managed to win some great bacon. I shot at 40 yards against six able bodied shooters in each round.  It's always good to get out and shoot with friends.  I think this is excellent practice for spring turkey season. I may not be as fast as I used to be, but at least I'm still on target.

Fairbank Rod and Gun Club 2nd Ham and Bacon Shoot

Fairbank Ham and Bacon Shoot

Today was the first ever ham, bacon and turkey shoot at the Fairbank Rod and Gun club. It was a fantastic day and I won the first shoot, an 11 pound black forest ham. I was shooting my new Stoeger 12 gauge shotgun. Tomorrow is the Western Pennsylvania Wounded Warriors ham and bacon shoot. I'm looking forward to it and another day on the range.

The next ham and bacon shoot at Fairbank rod and gun club will be held on April 11th. Registration will begin at 10 AM and shooting will start at 11 AM.

Fairbank Rod and Gun Club Pheasant Hunt

On Saturday September 27th Fairbank Rod and Gun Club held their 3rd annual Western Pa Wounded Warrior pheasant hunt.  I look forward to this event every year. The men and women at Fairbank are excellent host and they simply can't do enough to make sure we all have a fantastic hunt.

It was another great day in the field.  The weather was beautiful and the ringnecks were flying very well for all of us on the hill.The club put out 100 pheasants for our morning hunt.

For the 3rd year in a row I was able to take a pheasant in flight.  I feel I am becoming a better wing shooter and having the right equipment makes all the difference. The last two years I have been using my custom mount and custom bite trigger that my friend Ed Leeper made for me.  I have become a much more confident shooter using this set up.

Everyone had a great time hunting together.  We enjoy our time hunting together and giving advise and encouragement to each other.  On this hunt we had hunters with quadriplegia, blindness, amputations, paraplegia, ptsd,  heck you name it. Together we are strong and for a short while, just hunters and friends.

Pheasant Hunting

I am looking forward to tomorrows 3rd annual Pheasant Hunt  at Fairbank Rod and Gun Club with the Western Pa Wounded Warriors.  The weather is going to be nice and the people at Fairbank are great to hunt with.

What loads do you use for pheasants?
