A Break in the Action
Our days are busy. Professional, family and personal obligations fill our schedules. You’re invited to take A Break in the Action of your day and escape to a place filled with sights of highly figured walnut and rich, vibrant case-color hardening. Intoxicating scents of wood smoke from a perfectly laid fire and spent shotshells fill the air. The only deals we broker are for new-to-us shotguns and our only appointments are for chilly mornings and impatient bird dogs. Here, our currency is memories and we consider ourselves wealthy.
The goal here is simple, to provide a place to escape, a place to learn, a place to reminisce, and a place to relax - be it through our podcast or social sites. Our focus will reliably be on vintage and modern shotguns, best-in-quality gear, accessories, and experiences that complement the sporting lifestyle.
Our days are busy… take A Break in the Action.
A Break in the Action
A weekend shooting at The Omni Homestead Resort plus a review of the new Connecticut Shotgun Mfg. G1
Let me introduce you to The Omni Homestead Resort, a luxurious and idyllic retreat that has been charming guests for over two centuries. The moment you arrive, you're struck by the stunning beauty of the surroundings - rolling hills, verdant gardens, and pristine forests that stretch as far as the eye can see. The resort itself is a masterpiece of architecture, with its traditional red brick exterior covering the extensive wings and grand tower. . As you step inside, you are greeted by warm, welcoming staff and a stunning interior design that blends modern luxury with historic charm. Our trip had us arriving on a Saturday afternoon and departing on Monday late morning. That gave us one full day to really get acquainted with the Shooting Club. In this episode I would like to introduce a concept that your golfing friends have long been aware of - the ‘stay and play’ getaway. I am hoping that you enjoy shooting with your significant other or friends. Why not plan a quick getaway with them to relax and recharge? If you live in the eastern half of the US - The Homestead Resort with its endless recreation opportunities, specifically the Shooting Club - needs to be on your radar.
We are also going to be discussing and offering a shooting review of the Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing G1 shotgun. In the few weeks that I have spent with the G1 I have shot sporting clays, 5-stand and skeet. I think this shotgun handles very similar to a K-80 - its profile actually resembles one at first glance. I really liked it for sporting clays and 5-stand. It’s weight really helped it to point reliably and track targets. That same weight wasn’t my friend on the skeet field. Others who I have offered it to, to handle and shoot have generally received it quite well. We’ll get into more details on how it handled, how it shot and who I think this shotgun is a good choice for in this episode.
