The annual Nimrod Classic Vintage Gun Sporting Clay Shoot is coming up May 27-28! This is a ton of fun. If you like the idea of shooting sporting clays with a cool old vintage shotgun then you can't miss this shoot. It's four events over two days. You'll meet some great people and see lots of great guns. If you don't have a 'vintage' shotgun perhaps you can borrow one, or enter one of the events like the 'Short-Shuckers' or 'SxS Classic' that don't require a vintage gun.
