A Break in the Action

A weekend shooting at The Omni Homestead Resort plus a review of the new Connecticut Shotgun Mfg. G1


Listen Later

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.
