MAY 22ND, 23RD, 24TH, AND 25TH

Greater Houston Gun Club invites you to the 2015 Briley Blue Goose. Last year the Goose returned in full force. This year is no different and we are at it again. We are always coming up with new ways to keep things interesting and exciting.

The 2015 Goose will be an action packed weekend with big money and tons of prizes. To keep with tradition the usual Blue Goose bounty will be plentiful for all.

In typical Blue Goose fashion our prelim is new and improved, boasting 75 targets spread over three rounds of “Combination Skeet”. Shooters will bypass stations 7 & 8 and will circle back to 5, 4 and 3 shooting doubles to finish the round. Just like practice, right? Nope, ...allow me to finish. Doubles will be shot with a .1 second delay on the second target using Briley’s new “Doubles 101” trainer which teaches you how to shift your eyes so you can finally become an accomplished doubles shooter, as advertised in the Skeet Review. But wait... this is the Blue Goose we are talking about. We will also have a Mulligan feature to this prelim. Each class may purchase a Mulligan, limited to two , ALL MULLIGAN MONEY RETURNED TO CLASS! Mulligans do not apply to gun champ etcetera or any other thing other than class money. Should be fun and loaded with class money. Maximum score is a 75...

We have great prizes lined up for the prelim. Prelim HOA will take home a 12ga J Manton English made side by side hammer gun with 30” Damascus twist steel barrels. Lewis class shoot out at the conclusion of Fridays

events for the (now signature) Briley Blue Goose sterling silver money clips. If you didn’t get one last year you definitely want to try again this year. They are absolutely beautiful.

The main event payouts are certainly up to par with an additional $5,000 up for grabs for a handicapped 400x400. Details for the handicap will be outlined in the program. Main Event HOAs name will be inscribed on the “Bender’s Choice monument” for all to see. Give away galore! You thought there was a lot last year? The Main event will be the usual set up. Get your registration forms turned in early to secure the rotations you prefer. If you’re planning to bring your RV down to stay on site be sure to indicate that on your registration form.

The weekend is set! Targets are ordered, machines set and referees are ready. Please be our guest and enjoy some of Briley and GHGC’s top notch hospitality. Come, kick back and relax at the 2015 Briley Blue Goose.

We look forward to seeing you all!
