748.0. "tried this yet ?" by WJOUSM::MAZEROLLE () Mon Sep 10 1990 10:28

    Hi, I went to SKAT in New Ipswich N.H. It is a "Sporting Clay" range.
    It is designed to simulate REAL hunting with clay targets. Each
    shooting field is designed to replicate a classic type of upland shot
    and is appropriately named for each. From "Pheasant Phenomenon" to
    "Mallard Madness" to "Panicky Pintails, etc etc. Each round uses 50
    shells and costs about $20.00. THe place was completely uncrowded and
    FUN-Filled. This place was a blast !! (literally and figuratively).
    Give it a try - You'll like it :>)

748.2	Here's a try	WJOUSM::MAZEROLLE		`Mon Sep 10 1990 11:53`	9
	This is really difficult, its all back roads and it was my first time there but ... if coming from rte 101 take route 45 S. go about 2 miles to the center of Temple, bear right at the fork (after the IGA Supermarket) - go past the school and SKAT is about 3 miles on the left. From Route 31 take rte 45 N to Temple Center and take a left before the IGA and SKAT is about 3 miles on the left. Their Phone # is (603) 878-1257 and address: PO Box 137, Temple Road New Ipswich, NH 03071.
748.3	A few questions??	WMOIS::D_MCCRILLIS		`Tue Sep 11 1990 08:20`	6
	RE.0 Don - you neglected to mention your score. p.s. Do they have one where you can shoot at Dizzy Does or Bleating Bambi's or Stumbling Stags?
748.4	I should have expected this	WJOUSM::MAZEROLLE		`Tue Sep 11 1990 10:34`	7
	Gee Dan, leave it to you to look for details. You know me, I've always avoided math that's why I moved to Personnel. BUT, to answer your question I shot 30 out of 50 on the first round, that part of the field more closely simulates duck hunting. On the second round (simulating upland game birds) I only shot a 20 out of 50. The only thing simulating deer hunting was one station where you had to try and decapitate a doe. I did very well on that one - only one shot !! :>>).
