Crazy Quail is revolting. According to their press release [full text after the jump] the system is “a type of revolt against the orthodoxy of trap and skeet. Skeet offers excellent practice for the field shooter, but too predictable – the targets always follow the same fixed angles. Trap does offer a greater variety of angles, but all of the shots are going away from the shooter. Crazy Quail offers unique presentations and unpredictability provided by the 360 degree rotating base for the enjoyment of the upland bird wing shooter or the non-hunter alike.” Makes sense to me; when it comes to practicing your ability to shoot stuff, random is righteous. If any of our readers has sampled the system please let us know below. If you go to a demo, report to [email protected] . . .
Geneva, IL – Crazy Quail will headline the Schuyler County Shooters Club shoot on October 12, 2013 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm in Rushville, IL. The public is welcome at this event. Crazy Quail is perfect for the beginning shooter to the most experienced hunter. It is a great warm up for hunting season, or just for plain fun.

“Our show schedule has kept us very busy” said Barry Bourdage, President of Crazy Quail. “Since the Shot Show in January we have logged more than 80,000 miles travelling to shows and events across the country. It’s great to be in our home state of Illinois at a shooting event.” In the last month Crazy Quail has travelled to New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin with multiple stops in each state. “The overwhelming response has been unbelievable! Shooters of all ages walk away smiling, laughing and giggling, ready for hunting season” says Bourdage.

Jes’ ’cause I ain’t got no teeth don’t mean I’m toothless!
WANT THIS!
My nephew was just convicted yesterday of second-degree murder in California when a 9mm discharged and fatally wounded another corrections officer. There was no malice, which was what the jury decided, but how can a judge be convinced to strike the conviction with a gun that may have a lot more flaws than recognized? Please help.
I just got the following

The suicide issue is no different from the violence issue. Firearms are just the method, if we want to make real progress, we have to look at the root causes.
It frustrates the hell out of me every time the gun control crowd or the media, does this. They act as if the availability of a firearm is the only factor in a given area’s crime (or suicide) rate. I ask, what is the poverty rate? What is the unemployment rate? What is the incidence of drug/alcohol abuse?
There is no easy fix for violence or suicide, we all know this. When the president promises to lower crime, or protect the children, by restricting access to guns, I can at least see a strategy. He has no real power to reduce violence in our society (certainly not in four years), so he pushes highly visible gun restrictions so that it looks like he did SOMETHING, and hopes to win over ignorant voters.
I want to know what’s in it for the rest of them; the Piers Morgans, the Brady Campaign, Moms Demand Action… They are too intelligent, too well educated to believe the nonsense they are spouting. Whose agenda are they pushing so hard? Can it really just be all that sweet, tasty Bloomberg money?
I wonder if this guy is a sociopath. I know a guy who says stuff like “I wish I could own a crossbow, but I’d probably shoot someone with it.” and he’s a total sociopath.
I got a sig p220st. A thing of beauty, after hangin out with it for sum time, i grabbed one of my xds the other day & it felt like a toy watergun or something, you lay em beside each other and you realize what quality is. And thats the sig, its what holdin a gun should feel like too, not like the polymer guns that feel like 5 dollar toys.
Not something I need at this stage in my life. No little munchkins rambling around my house. If ever my twenty-something kids figure out dating and/or reproduction, maybe I’ll have to do something as a grandparent. But not yet (thank god!). I don’t want to sound like an irresponsible gun owner, but I’ve got 3-4 (maybe a few more) firearms around the place unsecured (and ready). There are never kids in my house, so it’s just not something I spend much time/money on. Finally, I tend to lean to what some people might consider an extreme around SHTF topics, so battery/electrical device and lifesaving/protection don’t go together much in my mind.
If one of my kids is home and has an adult friend with them, they give them the standard drill: my dad owns guns; if you see a gun in our house, it is loaded; you will not touch it; if you want to touch it, ask and we’ll be happy to show it to you; if you think that is cool, my dad will take you to the range to shoot it.
Just purchased a Kimber Solo CDP after watching You tube Video where the reviewer shot all kinds of ammo, including not recommended , 115 gr and ball ammo. I shot mine today with one of the recommended ammo, 147 gr Golden Saber. Shot 4 clips with no problems and accuracy was great.Very comfortable to shoot. I love this little gun.
