Hello:
I'm new to the forum and am going to be new to NC shooting. Myself and family are going to be moving from upstate NY to somewhere close to Pittsboro NC. I'm wondering which club would be close for me to shoot at and what are the membership fees like in NC. I know you can shoot there more then here in NY because of the weather and all. I love trapshooting although I have only been shooting since 2007.

Ok thanks. I was hoping for somthing a little closer than 32 miles but it is what it is I guess. I guess Buckhorn and Durham will be my home clubs.

Thanks to all at Buckhorn.
I made it out there last Sunday and did some shooting for the first time since the NE Grand in September. I had never seen or used one of the clip on mic's before and thought it was really nice. Hi Tec for sure. Everyone there was super and I got to shoot 125 targets. I'm going to have to shop around for some ammo I'm being told the big box stores are the place to get it. I like to use Top Guns for the registered shoots Don't know if I've ever seen them in Walmart or Dicks in NY I'll check it out anyway. Thanks again guys it was a pleasure shooting with you.
