I don't think the club house is open during still-boards. Your better off looking at the calender to see the first skeet night and stop by then.
You can also get it from their website.
I have a CVA Optima that I bought for my first, three years ago. Haven't had a reason to buy a second. It likes 90g of 777 ffg and 300g xtp.
Which CVA did you buy?
Didn't mean to hijack.....nice looking smokepoles above!
Interloper....I am in Oakland Hills; 75th and just east of Sunnyside.
All others interested - They have the application in pdf format on their website. I haven't looked at it for a while but if they ask for a current member name give them Bill Reiman!
They try their best but the website is kind of out dated. They do keep a calender of events on there. Their site is FALL CREEK VALLEY CONSERVATION CLUB. When good weather months hit, they do have a lot of activities ranging from skeet to high powered rifle and everything in between.
Open...
No real break in required. I would swab the barrel to remove packing oils but thats about it. I would put at least 50 loads through it before messing with a scope.
I belong there and would be more than happy to take you up there and give the nickel tour. I am in the Oaklandon/Geist area and its about a 25 minute drive for me. 10,25,50 and 100 yard tables. Nice place and generally, nice people.
I am into my third year with my Optima and have really enjoyed it. I too bought it as my first muzzleloader and it still has not disappointed me. It will shoot just about any load well. Obviously it was built with the powerbelts in mind. Mine also likes a 300g hornady xtp pushed by 90g of 777...
