Blue Rock ?

[Lindaxtwo]

Looking over the registration form for the Excel Family Reunion next May and see one of the events listed is a blue rock shoot. Must be a mid-western thing as I've never heard of it. Is it like skeet or trap ? Perhaps it's chunks of blue rock sitting on a fence post (we used to use tin cans). Can some of you boys give me the details on this sporting event ?

Linda,

You have it right. Trapshoot. Here in the midwest bluerock is one of many names for the the clay pidgons, rocks, etc. They are a deep blue in color with a varity of color tops.

And what's wrong with that? Just make sure you have a fresh one. The weight makes them fly better.

Catching fresh ones before they hit the ground.
