Sometimes friends go to Miami, leave their cars, and need help alternating sides of the street. To these people we say, thank you very much for enabling us to drive out to Ringwood State Park to enjoy the gorgeous weather and shoot some clay pigeons, an activity that is both Age Appropriate and Age InAppropriate. That said, we highly recommend it, especially to you womenfolk; the place is overflowing with menfolk.
You don't have to know a thing about guns or shells to play here. Yes we said play in a sentence about guns. The guys who Pull the skeets are incredibly friendly and helpful. We did, however, wonder if there should be more safety instructions. But we all survived unscathed. In fact, we had so much fun we're planning to return in a couple weeks. It's $9 for 25 skeets, plus shells, etc., which means $17 plus tip. You can bring your own shells if you have a clue what to get. Sara used a 20-gauge gun while the boys used a 12, and by "boys" we mean the four other people at the practice (read: beginner) area during her turn.
The final scores:
Greg - 23/25
The Dad - 19/25
Daniel - 14/25
Sara - 14/25
The Son - 11/25
Outdoor activities are Appropriate! If Sara didn't close her eyes for most of her first round, or use the wrong eye for most of her other rounds, she think she'd have shot 19/25. Seriously. Click on the picture to make it big to see the bright orange skeet flying by.
I really like this blog, you are very good making them. I say that the issue discussed in this blog is quite interesting and of high quality.
